First recorded in 1805, it stopped trading as a pub in 1909 although it continued as a café for a short period of time. It had to compete for customers against the 'Three Compasses' to its immediate left on the junction with Beatson Street, and the 'Globe' immediately opposite it. Image shows part of Lavender House behind which is Peter Hills with St Mary's and St Paul's Church of England School.
