Hop Pole Inn, 16 Leicester Row

Hop Pole Remains Leicester Causeway The hop vines used to be trained up hop poles, whereas now they are trained onto wires. This pub was next door to Ratliff's Brewery, which closed around 1900. The Hop Pole is mentioned in a document describing land bounded by the pub dated 1858. This was a home brew pub until 1920. The Hop Pole closed on 25th May 1941, probably another victim of enemy bombing.
