<div class="history">
It was previously a cafe called Caffe del Ponte <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/7706322564/ photo]</small>, but this closed for refurbishment in early 2017 <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/33050048942/ photo of sign]</small>, and when it reopened it had been transformed into a cafe-bar called Memory Box.

When it was Caffe del Ponte, the procedure was to order and pay at the counter. There was seating for around 25 people on banquettes and upright chairs, and a further 18 seats on high stools.

It had the same owners as neighbouring [[Cantina, 84 High Street|Cantina]] and [[Ponte Nuovo, 80-88 High Street|Ponte Nuovo]]. Before Ponte Nuovo and Caffe Del Ponte opened up, the owners had another restaurant (Il Ponte) across the road in the space now occupied by [[Buffalo American Bar And Grill, 91-101 High Street|Buffalo American Bar And Grill]].
