Walcots Cafe Bar, Hanging Ditch, 1990. (c) deltrems at flickr.
Walcots Cafe Bar in the Corn Exchange was previously known as Rowntrees, as shown here in 1965 and here close-up in the 1970s. The left hand side was the bar and restaurant, with a cafe snack bar to the right.

Next door to Walcots and just apparent on the right was the infamous Top Cat Tavern, a real rough-arsed boozer. The old Rowntrees / Walcots is now the still-popular Zinc Bar & Grill at 'The Triangle'.
