Notes / History | The original Bath Tavern was demolished, and the one pictured here was built as part of the Phipps Bridge Estate in the 1960s. It was boarded up in the 1990s after a shooting. When the police were called to the scene all the customers were arrested but they refused to talk about the incident. "Everyone just happened to be in the toilet - all together at the same time" said one detective. In 1996 it became a surgery. |
