Broughton Tavern

Briefly known as the Printers Arms when it was first licensed in 1818 on Green Bank (an old name for this part of Broughton Road), by 1824 it had been renamed the Broughton Tavern and remained there until the 1870s. Proposals to widen Blackfriars Road to 20 yards in the early 1870s led to its demolition, and re-building on a site about 15 yards away at the junction of Blackfriars Road and St Stephen Street.

Greenall Whitley took over in the 1960s when it was described as "an excellent example of a largely untouched, substantial Victorian public house" with high ceilings, fine woodwork and old glass panels with "Commercial Room" and "News Room" engraved on the glass. It was purchased by Ascot Taverns in 1991 and closed two years later, being subsequently converted to residential.
