The Britannia was situated on the corner of Cuxton Road and Priory Road. This pub closed c2005.

The Britannia was always called The Corner Pin by locals. I played Pool for them on and off in the 80's and 90's. I remember one night we were sat there having a late one with my Sister who occasionally worked behind the bar, and a couple of guys stuck their head around the door and asked if they could come in for a late one. The Landlord agreed with a big smile on his face, Chas and Dave walked in the door, what a night that was, singing along to Chas and Dave, getting very drunk, I don't remember what time I left, I had work the next day, but I could still hear everyone singing as I walked down Cuxton Road....As you all know Chas passed in 2018, he's probably having a sing along with my Sister.
