chunkyfunky Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 The monkey or victoria pub on neepsend lane got its nickname The monkey (so I was told) because lasses and lads used to do thier eyeing up of each other there in days gone by, so it got called the monkey run, hence the name Monkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nodens Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I think if you look on the side of the building it says Monkey Works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billhaley Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 If you were standing with the Victoria pub at your left hand and looking towards Nursery St am I right in thinking there was also a pub on the other side of the street further towards Nursery St possibly on a corner? Not as far as the Brown Cow though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
