The St Leger tavern, at 8 Silver street closed in March 2017 for a major overhaul; allegedly 200 years old, and previously the Three Jolly Blacksmiths until about 1838, It is locally known as the Biscuit Billy. I need to check whether the street numbering changed or whether this is the original building.
