Discover three pubs in the same building at 10 John Street, Lincoln

This is a re-working of an old time shift from over three years ago. I've done lots of videos about lost Lincoln pubs, but in contrast this is a positive story. I've struggled to get definitive dates, so I'd be happy to learn more.
I believe that the Spa Tavern opened in 1867, at some point in the mid 20th century it became the Gay Dog, and that is how I remember it from the 1980s when I lived in the Monks Road area. I can't remember when it closed, but it re-opened as the Dog and Bone, and quickly established itself as a popular pub, complete with it's own book lending library, and has won several local and regional awards.
I've never seen a photo of the Spa Tavern, but the old photo in the video shows the Gay Dog, possibly in the 1960s?

That's what I thought :)

Make sure that you get a pint in there before it becomes flats…

That will only happen if loses it's customers again, but it seems to have re-established itself nicely. Pubs will always struggle against supermarkets, but if they continue to serve great beers and put events on hopefully they'll be OK.
