Missing pubs

Never mind the future. Here's a map of the area round the site of Broadcasting House, from 1893, with some questions to resolve - three missing pubs. One actually on the Hallam Street side (then Duke St) of New BH itself; one in the very narrow Gosfield Street; and one between The Stag's Head and The Ship.

The Portland Hotel stood where Western House is now; in 1833 it played host to Captain John Ross on his return from the North Pole (The place, not another pub...)
