The Bull Hotel was situated at 41 North Street. The first known innkeeper was Thomas Williamson in 1798. The Bull was owned by the Start family in the C19th, who also owned the Dukes Head and at one point the Kings Head and a brewery in North Street. In the early C20th a large room in the pub was hung with portraits of Derby winners. The forecourt of the Bull became a town meeting place, with the Suffragettes and political parties expounding their views and town celebrations and bonfires held on the site. Latterly the Bull was owned by the Friary Brewery, Guildford. Their licence was transferred to The New Bull when it was built in 1925 on the opposite side of the road. The Old Bull was demolished and gas showrooms built on the site. These have also now been demolished. The site is now occupied by car parking and landscaping to a new office block to the north.
