Britannia I've stumbled on another.
New Britannia If OP isn't going to include what these were prior to possibly being Building Societies then can these be deleted? I am on Banks Galore aren't I?

The Britannia was a pub, in the 1870s, on the High St of Maidenhead (and i assume on that spot, it looks like it is from the historic mapping) - ironically, it is now a Britannia BS, and that is where the confusion lies.
It is irritating and lazy that people can't be bothered to say a basic comment to let everyone know.
I've copied the above from a couple of different parts of a forum in which conversation is barred, so that we can have a proper chat about:
1) Defunct pubs being added without any notes about when they were pubs and what happened to them,
2) Photos of places where there used to be a pub but there's now a block of flats or a bank,
3) Anything else, related or not. :)
