The Chaplin Arms was situated at 78 Canwick Road. This 19th century, grade-II listed building was present as a pub by 1849 and closed in 2009. It has now been converted to flats.

(No.22 in 1861 census). Also, in 1986, Angels bar and from 2009 flats. Grade II Listed. The pub was probably built about 1844 after the construction of Canwick Road in 1843 for Mr W H Brook, brewer. It is likely that it was named after Henry Chaplin, 1st Viscount Chaplin. Victuallers from directories: 1844 Edward Townshend, 1850 Samuel Mitchell, 1856-1857 William Gray No.22, 1861 George Brailsford, 1867-1868 Vincent Tinley, 1882 John Nixon, 1885 unable to find it listed, 1892-1909 Mrs Fanny Nixon, 1913-1946 Robert Arthur Fisher No.78, 1965 Mrs J T Walters. A pinfold was provided here in 1877. Applications for extensions were applied for in 1882 by Charles Brook, brewer of Waterside North/St Rumbold Street and again in 1896 by A and B Hall brewery. The outbuildings have had many uses but they were demolished in September 2005 and replaced with the current building as a cabaret/function room. That closed in 2008 with plans submitted in May 2008 to convert to residential use.
