Birkett Bank & Birkett Street Corner 1955
Photo: Keith

This shows how the Crispin was built with two thirds demolished, one third continued serving customers and when the new part was ready business continued there. Finally the rest of the pub was demolished and the project completed. The top photo may be of interest because I believe, rightly or wrongly, that the building seen "alongside" the spire of St Catharine's Church may be the Lodging House referred to in previous posts.
