Whatever happened to Closed Cell Sponge?

Looking at @PaulSagar’s and @Tutu’s new t-shirt design, I found myself researching the Fishmonger’s Arms. Sadly, it closed as a pub in 2000, so we can’t hold the t-shirt launch party there (it’s now a police building). However, I did find this film footage of it in 1956, the year of the club’s founding, possibly featuring some club members:
