Opening of The Giles, 1971	Picture source: Tony Wilson
The Marquee was situated at 13 Prebend Street. The site of the Marquee was previously a WW2 bombsite. Part of the area was developed as a small scout hut built with monies raised by local subscription which itself was demolished in the late Sixties to make way for a modern theme pub called 'The Giles' named as a tribute to Islington born cartoonist Ron 'Carl' Giles'. The inside was decorated with framed cartoons of his well-known 'Daily Express' characters. Renamed the Marquee it was soon demolished to make way for residential use.
