It was originally intended that this place would be called the 'Temple Bar Hotel' At the 1878 Brewster Sessions, Henry Blackledge told the Court that he intended to build the property at the junction of Acregate Lane. He argued that he proposed to spend £1,800 building the hotel, and that there had been about 100 new houses built in the area. Plans for 26 new streets had also been sent to the Corporation for approval, and he submitted that a hotel was required to serve them. Mr. Nevett gave evidence to say that land had been sold near to the site for a further 55 houses, and that they intended to build 18 or 19 new streets.
