Can also see the old Midland Bank with the Roman ballustrades on its frontage. Now HSBC.

Stunning building, with an amazing glass dome inside above the foyer.

Edit: This all refers to the Queen St pic

Went in there just as the Bay development was taking off. It didn't last much longer, and I think I worked it out to be almost exactly at the entrance to the apartments called Prospect Place. This was built on reclaimed land, directly behind where the old Red House used to be.

The pub itself was so close to water it had a shipping navigation aid on its back wall.

The irony of the Red House is that it was actually white. It was only painted red by Welsh Brewers in the latter years of its life. I should imagine the original structure was red brick and rendered sometime later. Can't find any older photos at the moment.

I thought 'Pub on the Mud' was the nickname given to the Inn on the River on the embankment in Grange?
