Viewed across Brocas Street. The pub's website states that the building dates from 1542. One of its many uses was as a makeshift mortuary in 1665 during the Great Plague. Later it was a watering hole for watermen. The original Waterman's pub was next to a sawmill in nearby King Stable Street at a time when the street housed royal carriages and horses for Windsor Castle. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3474544 to a view of the west side.
