This fine building, 48 Foregate Street, was originally known as The Bars Hotel & Restaurant. Its landlord in 1942 had been Mr E W Pritchard. When this closed in the early 1970s it became The Tavern in the Town with King's Nightclub above. Later, it was converted into Cindarella Rockafella's night club.

With its 'monk's retreat' and impressive facade- which could easily have been preserved- it was sadly demolished a few years ago to make way for a 'luxury' apartments development. This photograph was taken by the author just before it vanished.

Reader 'J D' wrote to tell us, "One of the pubs I can vaguely remember a few years ago was The Schooner Inn which was next door to Cinderella Rockerfella's. If I remember correctly it changed to The Sports Bar which was at its busiest on a Sunday night".

Reader Hoolite also recalled, "Oh, yes, I remember the Sports Bar alright. Lots of neon and chrome in the 'American' tradition, a couple of pool tables, long bar on the right hand side as you walked in. Guaranteed major ruckus on most nights, being positioned right next door to Cinders, which was the first club I ever went into being about 16- they weren't too choosy".
