Church Tavern, Bath Street (near St Chad's)

Tha Church Tavern is listed in the electoral roll as being at 38 Bath St. It is not described as such in 1912, but is in later years (names of pubs are only sometimes included). The landlord is listed as Oliver Collins, but states that he changed to 85 Bath St sometime in the year . Kellys of 1912 lists the same person , but just describes the place as a beer retailer (which can include a pub). The position is shown in red on the c 1910 map. Church Tavern is an appropriate name, St Chads opposite and the Bishops House next door across Weaman St.
I have a sort of a very bad picture of what must be part of the site, No date is given so one can’t be 100% sure it is that actual building. It occurs on the edge of a picture of the Bishops House. I have tried to crop and make a bit lighter . both original and crop are below.

Thanks again Mike for all your help, especially taking the time out to scan & crop the great pic and all the info. It would have been a great place (although tacky) to stay before you got married across the road (especially as he'd had a family fall-out with his parents having previously married a barmaid!). The map is also tremendously helpful. With all the redevelopment over the years it would seem to be under Queensway now, with Bath Street & Wearman street rerouted https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=52...52.485864,-1.89733&spn=0.003476,0.006899&z=17

Hi Mike,
I have just come across this thread with a reference to and a map showing Little Shadwell Street.
My grandfather was born at number 1 Little Shadwell Street in 1906.
Do you have an idea as to which of the buildings shown on the map may have been number 1.
Many thanks, Trish.
