Bill Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I was going to say the General Wolf that was on Church Street but it looks like the place might have been on a bit of a hill or slope??? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I recognise that one. The Boar's Head I think it was called and would have been in Town Hill, or should that be on Town Hill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Sorry bill, Cleo's too smart for me today, she is correct, although at the time of the photo it was known as Pig Hill (they held a pig market there back in time, it was later to be called Town Hill and still is.I'm going to have to find a harder one!. The section of 1890 map below shows the position of the pub in relation to Horsemarket street, interesting to note there were seven pubs shown on the map within a hundred yards or so of each other. 1. The Golden Grove. 2. The Blue Bell. 3. The Big Horse Shoe. 4. The Little Horse Shoe. 5. The White Bull. 6. The Griffin Hotel. 7. The Boars Head.
