Old Wheel Leicester Row This pub is thought to date back to at least 1800 when it was known as the WHEEL TAVERN. In 1839 it was advertised for sale. In 1844 the inquest into the death of seventeen month old Emma Golsby was held at the Wheel Tavern, before a jury of fourteen. The inquest's verdict was that Emma Golsby was the victim of wilful murder. The pub became the Old Wheel Tavern in 1890. The OLD WHEEL closed on 28th February 1932 on the payment of compensation.
