Sun, Deansgate

Next door but across the triangle (for want of a better word) from the Two Cocks was the Sun at 245 Deansgate, run by Simeon Hilton in the 1840s [1]. Directly opposite the Dog & Partridge (so today it's easy to work out where it was - just stand outside Alliance & Leicester), the Sun had a small vault to the rear which was accessible by Dyer's Lane, a tiny street off the aforementioned triangular area [1].
