Crispin in its prime — featured on PINtPOINT's Ghost Hunter showcase.
The Story
A comfortable friendly one-bar pub in an alley near Broad Street Station, off Eldon Street. In 1983 already 'apparently in danger of demolition'. Broad Street Station itself closed in 1986 and the surrounding streetscape was redeveloped; the Crispin didn't survive as a pub. Its facade was retained and absorbed into the Broadgate office complex — you can still see the original building behind the BROADGATE signage today.
Ghost Hunter mode reveals 500+ closed and demolished pubs on the PINtPOINT radar — each one a room that once poured pints on that exact street corner.
Closure and address verified against CAMRA’s pub database.
