Dobells Vaults / Britannia, 48 Fairview Road, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

Cheltenham pub history index

In 1830 to 1842, at least, there is a Britannia, in Mount PLeasant street. This road is renamed as part of Fairview road. I am therefore adding these records to this Britannia unless proven incorrect. The Dobells Vaults is listed in 1911 at 48 Fairview road. This is latterly the address of the Britannia Inn which closes in 1988.
