The Commercial Inn, North Street.
This was situated in what is now Darnell's accountants offices (upstairs) and The Little Shop (downstairs). Trade directories record this as the Commercial Inn between 1878 and 1910. When the lease came up for renewal in 1911, there were seven licensed houses within 100 yards of this site. The Liberal Club bought the property and transformed it into billiards and card rooms with a reading room and accommodation for the caretaker, opening in April 1913. Used by the forces during the 1940s, but later closed in the 1960s. A change of use in 1985 saw it converted for shop space downstairs, with the accountants upstairs.
