Rowland Rees Public Health Map of 1851.

 

The Public Health Map of 1851 identifies a premises called the "Rose and Crown" down the side of Fishmonger's Lane and Townwall Lane.

The small Lane known as Townwall Lane houses a brewery, name as yet unknown, but this was run by a Thomas Mackay in 1851 and was brewing Ale and Porter.

No further information is known.

Could this have been the Tap pub of the brewery I wonder, although I do believe that this could well have been operating as an off license as at that time there was also the "Fishing Boat" also in Fishmonger's Lane.
