Division 1 : Area 7

Bonds (Ber Street) : group 2

. . . 10 pubs in this group . . . none still serving.

 Meaning of symbols
This is only the innermost part (i.e. City end)
of Ber Street.
Of course, it includes the side opposite John Lewis
store ("Bonds") but only up to Thorn Lane.

It includes a short stretch of All Saint's Green (east),
which does not fall into the Parish of that name.

 

See Area 9, groups 2, 8 & 9 for the
remainder of Ber Street.
