... and finally.
Old but modern - the now defunct 3 screen Odeon cinema.
Which has been treated with great respect as you can see

And The Odd Fellows Arms - modern but old.
They took a whole corner out to put a new traffic system in. Gone was The Windmill (the other gay pub, where Sir John Gielgud used to drink) and the Nags Head that still had an outside toilet. But I have a feeling the Odd Fellows was listed. Lord knows it couldn't have survived otherwise!

Another coaching inn, as was The Buckingham Arms - there were still stables at the back of it (disused) even in my memory. It was a cute little place - stiflingly hot in winter and packed with old giffers. Well, about 5 people was enough to pack it, as it was still divided into two bars - the Saloon and the Snug.
