This pub building replaced an earlier one and looks due to be demolished.

In 1860 William Hughes, bricklayer was at 133 Mill St and there is no mention of a pub at this address. It is the 'Crows Nest' in 1881 (Godfrey Charles Banks was Landlord) and in 1938 Gore (when Rt. Geo. Harding was landlord).

Working from memory Marky thinks that the name 'Clancys' started in the 1970s, John Burns puts it later and thinks that the name was never in wide use, also that this was a haunt of gangsters in the 80s.
