Gone, but not forgotten.
OK the last one wasn't received too badly, but I will in future try to keep these down to one a day. Unless of course they go too quickly. So how about this one.

The shop next door looks like one I seen in a old photo, don't know why but the Bristol Street area springs to mind, I might be completly wrong.
 
Ignore because i am wrong!!!, The Eagle & Tun, Curzon St. Len.

Is it the one on the corner of Muntz Street and Coventry Road? Can't think of the name, Malt Shovel is it?
 
Not there either Dave, and don't forget we are going to need a name for the pub.

The name is The Sun Inn,because it say's so on the side fanlight,so a guess is it's on the corner of Bristol St..and Sun St.
 
Checking the 1911 census gives Frederick William Waters as a public house manager at 1 Sun St West, which on my map starts at the junction with Spring St and runs west to Ryland Rd., so I'll change my guess to Sun St West / Spring St corner - it might even be William Martin's pub at 25 Spring Street, as the shop next door seems to be no.22.
 
Well spotted Ray, I missed that I blotted out Bristol Street as well. I really, really must get new glasses. Still whichever way you win is still a win, well done.

Well I have got to admit I would never of got this one, well done Ray, 10 out of 10 for the keen eyesight, I was too interested in the shop next door, I knew I had seen it somewhere in a series of photo's taken around Bristol Street.
