The Oil Millers Arms was
situated at 30 East Marsh Street. This pub was built in 1865 and took its
name from Sowerby's oil mill, which stood just a few yards away down East
Marsh Street. In 1943 the Oil Millers saw tragedy when a butterfly bomb hit
the building. The then landlord, Jock Young, bravely tried to get the bomb
outside, but it exploded and killed him. The pub was closed and demolished
in 1979. A tool hire company is now located on the site. |
