Oh yes, I must put this back online as soon as I can. You are right, there was some tinkering to be done!Hello, I am a new member so please excuse me butting into what seems an old conversation. I have been fascinated the picture of the sides of pork in the alley next to the Vampire pub in Great Hampton Row as my great grandfather was Harry Knight the proprietor of the pork butchers. There are a lot of mentions of other photographs on this thread, including one from Kieron from the midlands pubs website, which is of knights butchers, but this is now missing on the thread, and the link to the midlandspubs site does not work as they appear to be revamping the site. Can anyone re-post the photo or any others of Knights if they have it please. Many thanks. Also they moved to 37-39 Great Hampton Row so any photos would also be good. My grandfather Henry Francis Knight had a grocer's shop I think in the Glebe Farm area in the 30s and 40s - does anyone know of this or have pictures please as well. Cheers.

My Brother in law used to be the owner of The Minerva Vaults, unfortunately he has passed and there was no photos..
i'm sure the frontage of the building is still there,you can make out the brick window spaces and the entry,the pub lies back from the other buildings and is about a hundred yards up on the right from the LORD CLIFDEN towards Hockley flyover.Hi Lyn,you may be right.I have read that it was on the corner of Gt Hampton Row and Tower St,although in the picture it does not seem to be on a corner.If Mike reads this maybe he can help.Moss

Thanks for sharing this map Lyn. My great aunt and uncle lived in Court 14 on Great Hampton Row from 1922 to 1938. I hadn't realised it was in Hockley which I have visited many times in recent years. I assume there is nothing left of the courts now?Lyn
Wood & potters are 72 (in red), so the pub must be 70-71.
