This odd looking place, the Mariners, was hidden away down Old Bank Street, off Cross Street, close to the closed Rat & Parrot. Shown here in the 1970s which its distinctive mermaid statue outside, the fact it has a 'Grillroom' menu outside is suggestive of more of a restaurant than pub, however, folks who went in the Mariners in the '70s have confirmed it as a decent, rather plush bar.
