Historic Interest

Dating from at least 1877 the main building on the corner was the Hamilton Building which was the offices for a wine and spirit merchant, Barnett & Co., the wine store was probably the reason for the large pub cellar. The entrance in Market Street was a pub known originally as Barnett's Vaults but later the Hamilton Vaults - see old photo of the Hamilton Vaults in 1890. Acquired by Robert Cain then bought by Yates' Castle Brewery in 1897. Changed its name to the Copperfield in the early 1960s. Grade II listed building. The old black and white photos were taken in 1989 when the pub was one of the first in the area to reintroduce cask John Smith's beer. Described in 1990 as a vibrant , lively pub, popular with office types at lunchtime and youngish types at night. Closed in 2010 and converted to residential use in 2013.
