Hello Kate have you read the thread"This must have been a pub but what name"we had a great discussion on this subject and came to the conclusion that it was originally The Royal Oak and later the The Beehive at least I think it was that, it became so confusing.Dek

That,s interesting info Ray I thought I was losing it as I can remember the outside of this building from the 60s-70s.Was it still in use in some other capacity?? Dek

Hello Lyn I think the Rising Sun was on the corner of Heneage St and Henry St.I too would like to know where the Brewery Tavern was.Dek

Thanks Mike that makes sense the one side of Bloomsbury St was demolished between Heneage St and Loxton St (before my era, to allow the building of South Tower) Just as a matter of interest where abouts was 209. Dek

I wonder where this pub was I cannot recall a pub with this name. Dek

There,s only one word to answer that.----Yes.Dek
