Location:  On the corner of Queen Street and Full Street, a few yards to the west of Derby Cathedral.

Historical Information:  Derby's oldest surviving pub, first licensed in 1530, it is a fine example of a timber-framed building. An old coaching inn, it is said to have been a stopping-off point for highwaymen. Recently, a hidden room was discovered on the first floor of the pub. A corridor in the pub was once a Derby street!

Sign:  The Dolphin was a well known Christian symbol in medieval days, which gives credibility to the presumed date of the founding of the pub. 

Curiosities:  Several ghosts reputedly haunt the pub, which is a regular calling place for 'Ghost Walks' organised by local celebrity Richard Felix, who stars in the TV series 'Most Haunted'.
