Sun - there have been three versions, all in a similar location. Original one in the mid 19th Century (Old Sun) was a small cottage (probably a beer shop), later replaced by a larger building which was then demolished in the 1960s and replaced by an ugly modern pub on the roundabout where Amwell Street joins the dual carriageway road to the A10. This Sun is still open. ***
