Full Description

Site of a former 19th century public house, known as The Royal Oak, which had previously been the site of an 18th century inn. The public house was first licensed in 1856 and the the three-storey building was constructed of red/brown brick with a pitched roof and brick stacks. The façade was divided in four bays; on the ground floor the left to right the bays contained a window, the entry door, another window and a garriage entrance, this fourth bay being wider overall than the other three bays. To the first floor there were four six-over-six sash windows and to the second floor smaller three-over-three sash wndows, all with splayed heads. The Roayl Oak was adjacent to the Lord Nelson and were both probably constructed around the same time with a similar design after the previous inn on the site was demolished. The public house was probably demolished by 1967 when the Haven Bridge was officially opened and John Adams Way constructed. {1}{2}
