Going to be a block of flats but retain the frontage.
I thought this pub had some history with some folks on here?

I remember doing ‘Penny for the guy’ outside the Black Boy on St Saviours Rd back in the late 60s by the metal bus shelter, always a big scrap outside every night and coins on the floor made for a good evenings work, the odd bit of silver too instead of pennies…

Had me first drink in there in 1964 aged 15..and mild was 1/5 a pint!!

Used to drink in the yard and send the biggest lad in for the ale
