ROEBUCK HOTEL, Lancaster Road

ROEBUCK HOTEL   #
Variously as - 9 Molyneux Square
8 and 19 Lancaster Road
188 Lancaster Road South
*
The original Roebuck Hotel was demolished when the Shambles
and Molyneux Square were demolished in around 1853 - 54.
Those two thoroughfares were to the rear of the Harris Museum.
*
I would suspect it was earlier than 1905. The pub surrendered its licence in
early 1902, and it still looks as though it's open in the photograph.

  1. James Swarbrick was born in 1803 at Weeton, a son of William and Jane [Cardwell] Swarbrick. He married Margaret Bromilly in 1829 at Bolton. The 1841 census has him in Market Street, Chorley, working as a publican.
