Until 1868 it was the BOARD/LIQUOR VAULTS.
From 1868 it was the CITY VAULTS and must have got its name from its central city location, until it was renamed CLARENCE in 1903. The Duke of Clarence was William IV before he became King. He had a short naval career and took his seat in the House of Lords as Duke of Clarence. Some Clarence signs show the four wheeled carriage which was named after him. | |||
