The Cross Guns, Rodway Close, Newtown was a Davenports pub.

I found an interesting account of the pub by Jane Fletcher who once ran the pub. Her story is contained in the link below:

Interesting read...I assume that Rodway Close would have been around the old Rodway St? When was this pub built? It doesn't look like any pub I knew when I lived in the area.

IMG_2521.JPG IMG_2527.JPG I remember having a drink in there. Not sure when it was built. I lived in Markford Walk. It was that or the Man O War, which has been demolished. Passed by there the other day and it's all over grown. My old house is ready to be demolished.
