EAGLE AND CHILD #
139 Church Street
*
Property owned by the Earl of Derby until 1890 / 91, then owned
by Philip Park.
This was the most famous of the Derby inns, 'Eagle and Child' being the crest,
and at one time the inn had a pictorial sign over the doorway showing an eagle's nest
with a child inside the nest. There is a legend which affirms that the child in the
eagle's nest was the illegitimate son of Sir Thomas Lathom, ancestor of the house
of Stanley and Derby.
At one point this pub went by the name "LATHOM HOUSE."
*
 |
| It is easy to position the Eagle and Child. It stood where the broad opening to Stoneygate begins, between the Minster and the buildings that were part of the Bull and Royal Hotel and Conservative Club. For those who remember it, you can see the 'Discount Book Store' in the picture. |
