Punch Bowl, Greyfriars Lane
| In 1788 this pub was for sale, when it seems to have ceased to be a pub. The drink punch was established in England by the 1630s and seems originally to have been a sailor's drink. It is normally made in a large bowl, hence the pub name. Pubs with this name would once have sold punch and it is said it was particularly popular with members of the Whig political party. |
