Records of a pub on the site of the Stag's Head date to 1770 (original construction by a Mr. Tyson)[1] and 1895 (extensive rebuilding).
Mr. Tyson is also believed to have contributed to the construction of a permanent pavement over Dame Lane.
There is a stuffed fox on the ground floor snug of the pub, while a large stag's head decorates the main bar.
Filming for Penny Dreadful also took place both inside and outside the pub in February 2014.
[5] A number of changes have made to the pub since the sale, most notably the introduction of a television set to the bar area.
