The Kenilworth Castle is typical of many properties in Hertford Street in the early part of the century. This would have been a postcard produced for the proprietor, J.T. Woodward, who is proudly standing at the door. The Geisha Cafe can be seen to the right, this being a favourite meeting place for shoppers to have a cream cake and a cup of tea. The Kenilworth Castle closed in 1939, before the War started. The building survived the bombing but was demolished in 1965.
The name comes from the nearby Kenilworth Castle.
To 1841 this was the BARREL. In the 1861 Census it is called the HERTFORD COTTAGE. In 1912 the pub was photographed advertising Thornley's beers. It closed in 1939. | |||
