Grecian's Head, Deansgate

Former location of Grecian's Head, Deansgate. (c) googlemaps.

Today just one building separates Peter Street from Bootle Street, but in the mid-1800s there were four Deansgate premises here.  The second one up from Peter Street was the Grecian's Head run by Samuel Jones and opposite was the Unicorn [1].  These days the Ellis Brigham mountain sports equipment shop sits on the site of the old Grecian's Head.
