Just passed this pub on Russell Street and noticed the interesting sign. I once entered this pub more than thirty years ago and left pretty pronto as the place stank like an open latrine. I can only hope it has improved since then. A local historian has written a piece about this place and you can read it here.
Used to be known locally as "Portz's", presumably after a former landlord. A little more upmarket these days, with its bewildering selection of beers and past "Pub of the Year" awards.
