I remember going in the Oddfellows in the 1960s; my grandad lived not far away on Norfolk Road. The pub can be seen on the left of this photo and another photo apparently shows the back of it. It must have been an old pub - it turns up in the 1861 and 1871 census returns with "Frederic Rotherham" as licensee.
