Nelson Pub c. 1970

[RobertFS]

Is my memory correct?

At the corner of Cherry Street / Temple row was there a Pub

called The Nelson, which was underground?

Cheers Mate. It's moved (in my memory at least)
since I was last there. : -)

There was a 'Nelson Bar' which you entered down a flight of steps,
can't remember exactly where it was though.

Yes, it's the same place I think, it was later called the Nelson Bar.
It was definitely down steps, quite a small area really if I remember correctly.

That's the one. From what I remember, the bar / counter was shaped like the side of a warship from Nelson's era.

I can't quite remember that - I don't know why!
What I do remember is that they had a DJ who used to play (Northern) Soul music which I liked. This would have been in the 90's as I went in with someone I worked with then.
