Anyone heard of this pub/inn/beerhouse ? Supposedly it was on Steelhouse Lane and run by T.Palmer. Viv.

That's lovely Janice! Sounds like a classy place with all those oil paintings etc. Can we pinpoint where 148 Steelhouse Lane was please (Mike!) ? Viv.
 
No 148 shown in red on map. Would have been the building marked with a red arrow on photo

Thanks Mike. Didn't imagine it being there, I tend to forget Steelhouse Lane extended this far because of the later ring road alterations. Viv.
 
Pulled up a couple of images I posted on the Steelhouse Lane thread. I've highlighted what I think is the pub building in the drawing. Viv.
