The Royal Hotel on Lloyd Street was immediately round the corner from the still just-about-surviving Ducie Arms (the Ducie on Devas Street was sadly shut on a Saturday afternoon when we tried it). Shown above in the 1930s, it is shown in 1970 as a Whitbread house, The Royal. The pub shut the same year and today the street is known as Lloyd Street North.
