Has anyone got any old photos of Melbourne St which show the Old House At Home pub. Trying to explain to somebody today where it was and I got blank looks

Suprised they managed to convert it into anything else. Was one of the old tap room/snug pubs where you wpied your feet on the way out

I remember it but thought it was between Avenue Parade and Water Street. I just remember seeing the name when we were waiting for coaches in the summer holidays on Melbourne Street.

There were some bus stops outide what is now known as the Old Tannery which used to be Mastabar and then Karimor. It was opposite them.
