This pub was established as the Artichoke in 1825 and was altered in 1875 to become the Foresters (or Royal Foresters) Music Hall ( although some sources give the date for this change as being 1889 ). In 1893 it was rebuilt and expended and later became the New Lyric Theatre. In 1910 it was converted to a cinema which traded under various names including New Lyric and Foresters until its closure and demolition in 1960. **
