Conjecture...
The Three Cranes, sometimes known as the Cranes Tavern,
may have relocated to 19, South Quay, after 1773?
(Lease?) Owned by Paget in 1804, the Three Cranes disappears
from newspaper reports in 1807, but the
Royal
Exchange also a Paget house, emerges by 1819.
This may explain why the Royal Exchange reverted to the
Cranes
Hotel by 1888? |
