#21 was for many years The Fish Inn SJ8990 : Little Underbank. It has now been upgraded to The Salty Tower and no longer offers Breakfast Specials nor Pensioner's Lunchtime Specials.

23 and 25 Little Underbank comprises the Grade II listed LinkExternal link "Winter's" building constructed in the late 19th century. The upper floors are decorated with three semicircular headed niches, each with a pedimented canopy, hanging bell and a shaped plinth supporting a painted figure, to the left a soldier, to the centre Father Time with scythe, and to the right a sailor, each connected to the bell. A projecting illuminated square clock-face hangs above the doorway.

Jacob Winter, a successful Jewish businessman, established a watch and clock repair business at 23 Little Underbank in c.1890, expanding into No.25 in the early 1900s, when the frontage was remodelled. The shopfront included a patent mechanism to lower the entire display into the basement, for security. The clock has been restored and re-built on several occasions due to traffic damage. The jewellers closed in the 1980s and the premises were acquired by Holts who turned it into a pub, which closed in January 2018. It has since been extensively restored and has now re-opened as Bistro Marc SJ8990 : Winter's now open as Bistro Marc.
