We have lifted the lid on some of the oldest pubs in and around the city to learn more about their pasts.
How many of these have you been in?

6. The Brown Bear
Dating back to the the late 18th Century The Brown Bear is one of the oldest pubs in the city centre and is in a Grade II listed building and predates the Town Hall. There has been a pub on the site for over 200 years. It was probably named after the bear baiting pit which was in the Botanical Gardens. The pit closed in the 1870s when a curious child got too near and was killed by the two resident bears. Photo: staff
