Substantiated by 1819 but traced back as far as 1618, at one time addressed as 12 East Street. Situated on the site of the Arts Centre (St. Andrew's Waterside Mission,) and part of it remains as the Mission House adjacent to St. Andrew's church.

After closure the building was acquired and used as a mission house. Half of the old pub was demolished and St. Andrews Waterside Mission Church built on the site in 1870 and consecrated the following year on St. Andrew's Day. The existing half continued as the Mission House where General Gordon helped in teaching impoverished local children.
