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. |
