The Times was erected in 1851 on the what was the top of Cumberland Row, facing Elswick Lane. It closed in 1893 - bought by the Corporation for road-widening. The Times was the subject of a story about a terrific thunderstorm when lightening struck the top of Westgate Hill and crashed into the pub. As late as 1913 locals were writing to the press passing on tales of how several people were killed. However, the great storm appears to be a myth.

Description
Piece of Mancetter-Hartshill Roman mortarium rim found during a watching brief on St. Mary's Way. The rim is 81mm in length, 38mm wide and up to 12mm thick. It is in a hard, creamy-white fabric with sparse inclusions of fine (<1mm) red/brown and black particles. The rim is a reeded hammerhead type and has traces of a red-brown external wash. The edges of the sherd are worn and abraded and no grinding grits survive. Curvature suggests an original vessel diameter of c.310mm. These mortaris were manufactures between the 2nd and 4th centuries AD at Mancetter and Hartshill, Warwickshire, and had an extensive distribution in the Midlands and Northern England.

Description
Duke of Edinburgh - taken over by Robert Deuchar in 1897. At that time the public house had a large bar with dividing partitions, a smoke room and a bottle and jug department on the ground floor. Upstairs there was a sitting room and a billiards room with two tables. Rebuilt in 1937 and demolished in 1994. Older people knew the pub as the 'Red Lamp' - an allusion to a less than respectible feature of its past.
