Axe & Compasses
Timeline
PubWiki lists the earlier spelling Axe & Compass from 1851. Earliest evidence for that spelling, not an opening, and not a reason to change the 1960 close.
probable fact
Not present in the reviewed 1965 snapshot. Absence is only a research flag, not proof of closure.
probable fact
Closure is only known to the decade from the reviewed source. Display as 'closed in the 1960s', not 1960. Heritage Gateway separately records demolition of the buildings at this location in the 1960s for the Relief Road.
probable fact
Place-level redevelopment/demolition event. The HER says buildings at this location were demolished in the 1960s to make way for the Relief Road and links the site to the Axe & Compass record.
