Snargate Street and Crosswall

Five Post Lane

I have also heard this referred to as the "Harbour Shades Inn". Adamson kept such a house from 1849-1864. Adams and Company also kept one called "The Ale Shades" in the 1880's. Sometimes the address was Snargate Street and sometimes Five Post Lane. I am content to regard that as the property which later became the "Trocadero Bars".

Concerning the Crosswall. An "Ale Shades" was reported there in 1863 but a new licence went to Cook, for the "Wine Shades" at the Crosswall in 1864.
