Just it’s allocation street etc if I can.

Reading the newspaper article on my first other post it could be that it’s a new building if I have read it right

I can't find it marked on the old maps at all, but it was on the seafront, looking out over the Solent, on what is now known as Springvale Road, between the Battery Hotel at the western end near Puckpool Park, and what is now Oakhill Road at the eastern end.  There are several reports of inquests being held at the Bath Tavern on bodies washed up and taken there.  Also reports of traditional games being held on the sands in front of the Bath Tavern. 

Looking at the census enumerator's walk for 1861, it may have been near the Coast Guard Buildings which I suspect are the cottages with the flag pole in the front garden now.  Many of the buildings along that road look newer so the Bath Tavern itself may no longer exist.
