The Ring O' Bells was situated at the end of Foregate Street- no 151- next door to the Grosvenor Park Hotel. It appeared in Cowdroy's Directory in 1789 when the licencee was Simon Hawkins. Its licencee in 1818-20 was Elizabeth Catterall, in 1828 Thomas Bithell, in 1850 Elizabeth Chadwick, in 1857 Mrs E Greenall, in 1880 Joseph M Wright, in 1902 John Walter, in 1914 John Walker. It was demolished to make way for the Inner Ring Road. The site is now occupied by the Grosvenor Court offices and the City Road roundabout.

Below we see a photograph of the earlier building. Note the sign for stabling above the entry on the right. At some point in time this building was demolished and replaced with the much more ornate one shown above. Is that the side wall of the neighbouring Grosvenor Park Hotel just visible on the top right of the picture?
