Market Place Spread Eagle pub 1925

Market Place 38 beside Percy House is an alley to Brewery Lane going through the yard and under the arch of the Spread Eagle pub closed in 1925 demolished 1970. The name invites speculation about a session in the pub resulting in being “spread-eagled”?! Note the hand-cart in the cobbled yard and exterior stairs. Why use up the floor space inside a house for a staircase when it can be outside.

Otherwise this personal project, made at my own expense, is my voluntary, free to access website made with goodwill to the community, so that the site gives free access to our community’s historic information. For those who desire to stop some photos being seen, review your motives; some photos were given to the local history centre and have been hidden for 20 years – why? I don’t have access to them. Surely when the community give photos to a local centre for free, the photos should be available to the public to view with free access and free sharing by digital reproduction on which we can add our own descriptions on our own websites and Facebook pages and other sharing sites? Please read the acknowledgements and thanks on the About section – there are some astounding links including the National Library of Scotland’s (NLS) zoomable historic maps, and sites of rail and coal historic sites and … see About. Perhaps the links will stimulate you to do your own research for your own personal education like this site that I made for personal research and education.
