Can anybody remember the name of the wine bar that was on cambridge street near the top end ? in the 1970's

 

it was on the corner of cambridge street at the bottom and it was called the barleycorn, the one at the top was the albert frequented by students with a hefty ug of cannabis in the air.

going back to the barleycorn there's one fact that most people don't know is that a barleycorn was used to measure shoe sizes I am size 9 but don't know how many barleycorns I would take to get to size nine
