Pottergate (East) : group 3

. . . 9 pubs in this group . . . 2 still serving.

 Meaning of symbols
Lower Goat Lane and Upper Goat Lane
are not included (see next Group  4).

Also every effort has been made to exclude pubs in
Lobster Lane and Bedford Street : both of which
(in the past) have been called
"Pottergate Street". Both are in Area 4.

 

West Pottergate, being beyond the City Walls,
is dealt with quite separately : see Distillery.

The westernmost portion of Pottergate
(within the Walls) is included in
Group 7 - West End.
