The Dying Gladiator was situated at 44 Bigby Street. This is the only pub in Britain to carry this name, inspired by a Latin landmark.Over its main entrance, the owner created an exact replica of a statue standing in the Vatican City. It was sculpted by William Clark when he converted his Bigby Street house into a pub during the early 19th century.

This pub has now reopened.
