NEW HOLLINS INN, Paradise Street

NEW HOLLINS INN
29 Paradise Street
*
Although there's a question mark on the New Hollins Inn, I am 100% confident
that it's marked in the right position. (see advert from 18.6.1887)
Leeming Street and King Street are both now Manchester Road. Paradise Street
was superceded by Avenham Lane.

NB. Lot 4 in this Auction advertisement relates to No. 2 Paradise Street,
possibly the childhood home of the gentleman who has commented below.
The advertisement also confirms beyond doubt that the position of the
New Hollins was as indicated above. Other than the corner where St. Saviour's
Church was, there was only one other corner of Leeming Street and Paradise Street.
The opposite corners were in King Street.
