Commercial Inn, Sugar Lane

At No.17 Sugar Lane, a lost street known best for the Sugar Loaf, was the Commercial Inn, as detailed in this 1911 census from the licensee, Benjamin Barker. The 1849 map confirms its location at the bottom of Sugar Lane just before it turned into Duke Street (which later became the top, Shudehill end of New Brown Street) [1].
