A three-storey brick Victorian pub. In the 1950s it was used as a jazz club and by February 1964 an R&B club (the Bluesday) was operating, where played: Long John Baldry, the Bo Street Runners and The Who, previously known as the 'High Numbers'. Burnt down after a long period of disuse. The picture of the building comes from the Who album: 'Meaty, Beaty, Big & Bouncy'. Music Pilgrimages gives some more information.
