Union Arms Hope St This pub stood on the corner of Butts Lane and Hope Street. The name probably comes from the surrounding buildings 'Union Place' as shown on an 1888 map. In August 1874 Union Street was renamed Hope Street. In 1835 and 1841 this is the BEERHOUSE, Butts Lane. The pub closed on 11th February 1965.


This name often refers to a political union. Possible unions are that of 1707 which united England and Scotland, or of 1536 uniting England and Wales, or possibly the marriage of Elizabeth of York with Henry VII uniting the houses of York and Lancaster.
