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.
