[Astoness]

hi folks if anyone has a photo of this pub i would love to see it...new one to me..the pelican was at no 37 gt king st/unett st..before that it was known as the pilgrims inn...lost sight of it during the 50s...many thanks to mike for the map...note that to the left of the pub there was pilgrim terrace...now i wonder how that one got its name..

It should be noted that 150 years ago , though not sure exactly how long it stood, there was a Pelican pub also in Upper Hospital St. Just so there is no confusion if a photo is found

In 1861 the census recorded 7 Upper hospital St as the Pelican. the 1871 census did not name it, but by 1881 it had changed to the Glasscutters Arms. Between 1883 and 1884 hospital St merged with Upper hospital St and the pub became no 155 Hospital st. The attached c 1889 map shows in red where I think 155 was. I am not absolutely certain, it might have been either side of that building but I do not think that likely
