The "round house", at the bottom of Heeley Green'?

I believe that is the nickname of the Victoria due to part of the facade been rounded at the front.

That's interesting , Saracens Head has connections to Turkish soldiers so at some point in the pubs life it was renamed Tea Gardens I wonder why ?

The 'Tea Gardens' was on Grimesthorpe Road in the Burngreave/Ellesmere area of Pitsmoor and adjacent to the pub was a small cul-de-sac, Tea Garden Terrace that was there up to the late '60s. As for far away place connections Turkey and Boston (I presume Massachusetts U.S.A.) I fail to see the connection. However, I can understand that the place may have been a coach inn as Grimesthorpe Road (Gower Street to Upwell Lane) and Carlisle Street East (Sutherland Road to Upwell Street) were the longest in that area.

The one off Meadow Bank Road ? The name Green Bricks comes from the fact the wall under the window is made from green bricks I think.

Don't know about that one but is seems there's some kind of competition for outrageousness.

 

Filthy McNastys, Scruffy Murphys and the Snail and Lettuce (they sold food) all seemed to do well in Toronto! :)
