As you look at the pic the Black Bull is to the right and behind you, as you look at the pic. On the left I think is the Lychgate.

Dave,I think the pub on the left is the Lychgate.

Pub on the left, is definitely the black horse, now the Lychgate (Corpse gate)
The Black Bull would be opposite the right shoulde of the photographer.
Sat wi' me feet danglin' through those holes in the stocks many a time

The Lychgate pub is on the left, Black Bull is just out of view on the right.

The houses on the right isn't Spite Row Mike, those houses are still there.Spite Row would have been on the left of the stocks, built on what is now the lawn in front of the church.
