Did it start life as Hemingways?

Great beer garden and friendly landlord. But as you say, noone was ever in there, even the allure of Zebra steaks and croc meat on their bbq menu did not save it. I think at one point they even resorted to showing children's films in there on Saturday mornings to try and grab some custom. Just no foot traffic going past there, no passing trade.

Ian that used to run the Wellie in Kemptown has always wanted the pub, and is in the building game. I wonder if he is still interested.

If you paid attention in Mrs Tran's classes, which I'm sure you did really, you'd remember that née is the past participle conjugation from the French verb naître - to be born.
I'm sure it just temporarily slipped your mind.

Don't know when it was Hemingways. But it was the Cuthbert in the mid thirties when I lived at 154 Freshfield Rd.

That was practically me and my flatmates' lounge for a while. Nice bloke running it and a succession of cool barmen, but the only surprise was how long it kept in business for. Always giving out mixers and cocktails and ants running freely through the taps and drip-offs. Garden was a laugh, food menu was always too ambitious, particularly with the Round Georges and Hanover two minutes either side of it.

A different kind of pasty
It was my local when it was The Cuthbert from back when John Pendry had it, but I only ever went in once as Hemmingways. In fact I now walk past it to get to The Round Georges. Shame really, as it is a bloody lot closer to my gaff.
