North (inner) : Magdalen & Pockthorpe

Division 2 : Area 1

Nelson Barracks : group 8

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

 Meaning of symbols
Earlier known as the Cavalry Barracks, this complex
occupied all the higher ground to the North of
Barrack Street, but below Mousehold proper.

The area involved falls short of the steeper incline
(and modern roundabout) leading to Kett's Hill.

  See East Division : Group 1  for pubs
at the foot of Kett's Hill.

Only the Marquis of Granby and the Horse Barracks
survived the pre-War slum-clearance program,
by virtue of being completely re-built.
(But both since demolished).

Listing
The pubs are listed going Eastwards towards Kett's Hill.
