Former Home Ales pub. A substantial pub on the fringe of the city centre it was very popular in the late '70's and would often be completely full - especially on Saturday lunch times. At that time the sixpence (tanner) was still legal tender (at two and a half pence) and the landlord here always made sure there were plenty in the till so after a visit you would always come away with at least one in your pocket.
