| 1871 | 1929 | EAGLE VAULTS | |
Previously the SPON STREET BREWERY, from 1871 this was the EAGLE WINE AND SPIRIT VAULTS, generally known simply as the EAGLE VAULTS.
It closed in 1929 upon the payment of compensation and the premises became two businesses, Smiths Dining Rooms and the Rapid Boot Service.
 The pub would've been just out of view to the left of the photographer. The eagle is a Christian and heraldic symbol and has been used as a pub sign since the fifteenth century. It is used to decorate church lecterns because it is a symbol of St John the Evangelist. As a national symbol it represents such countries as the USA, Germany or Russia. | |||
