Originally part of a ground floor mural of the restaurant's most loyal regulars, his image was moved to a new mural on the basement bar wall following a 1997 refit.
Three years later another facelift followed, but Bell and others again survived - with each face photographed and hung individually on a ground floor wall.
His image has survived the latest refit, albeit with a less salubrious setting - the corridor outside the upstairs gents.
Reports of his portrait's demise may have been exaggerated, but it's almost certainly heading down the pan.
