The Old English Gentleman

Well this is a pub that used to stand in fitzroy street, a bit further along from the ancient druids and to be honest I dont remember it at all.I read an old article from 1964 when the local paper did a feature on fitzroy street and there was a photo showing the view across the bar with the landlord on one side and a regular on the other, and the wallpaper had pictures of the Beatles on it.This part of the street was already being knocked down bit by bit.The whole thing sounds very devious: announce a plan for a shopping center in 1950 then not make a definite decision on it for the next 25 years , so old houses arent looked after and new shops dont risk setting up.Anyway lets hear it for the old english gentleman, anyone out there who remembers it feel free to post a comment.I dont know exactly when it was demolished but I do remember something that could be connected to it. One sunday afternoon when I was living at number 85 so its between 1971 and 1973, I remember being in a car park with friends playing football when I noticed these square bits of card lying around all over the place, they turned out to be beer mats, lots of beer mats which I eagerly collected up, I dont know what I did with them I dont remember having them for long, but could they have been from the Old English Gentleman?, I must find out when it was actually knocked down or closed, whichever came first, a trip to the city library is due......
