This substantial building originally opened as an 'outdoor' (an off-licence), the Clarence Stores Inn, in 1914 in an area that was just being developed and which had a strong Methodist temperance membership that objected to introduction of public houses. It finally became a licensed public house, the Clarence, in 1929. Like many other pubs in the early 1970s, it was renamed, becoming the Port O'Call until about 1991 after which it was regained its former name with the addition of 'Old'.
