The Unicorn Pub, on North Road called last orders in August 2017 after 200 years of pulling pints. It was previously the Cattle Market Tavern after the livestock mart which operated next door, but later changed its name to the Unicorn after the market was replaced by a school and terraced streets. It is currently being redeveloped into serviced apartments intended for short-term use | National World
