The Royal Oak was situated on Tennant Street and is the right hand building in the above photograph. This pub was built in 1874 and closed in 1920.
Although built as a pub - the thralls are still in the cellar - it seems that it never actually opened. The building has been in City Council ownership since at least 1956 and probably since before the Second World War. It was the home of Derby Council Water Department until 1974 and then South Derbyshire Water Board. Recently it has been the home of the Derby City Registry Office.
