The pub has stood here for well over a century and has seen many changes all around it. Originally this road was known as Bridewell Road before changing to Lambs Street East and then to Gloucester Road in the late nineteenth century. It used to be part of a typical Victorian terraced suburb but much of the old houses were terrible places and declared slums. They were demolished in the post-war push for better housing and John Cozens House (further on) was part of the new approach.
