Grove Inn (centre), Brewery Street, Salford. (c) Neil Richardson [1].
The Grove Inn can be traced back to a shop run by a butcher on the corner of Rosamond Street and Brewery Street, off Peru Street. The beerhouse opened in 1836 and in the 1860s, the licensee was a Joseph Holt (probably not not the Joseph Holt) before Groves & Whitnall bought the leasehold in 1898. The beerhouse was in a bad state so the brewery rebuilt the Grove Inn with a parlour to the front, kitchen at the side and a scullary. It lasted until 1955 when it was pulled down as part of the Trinity clearance scheme [1]. Brewery Street was lost during redevelopments but it ran pretty much where Brotherton Drive is today, from Peru Street to St Stephen Street.

"Structural Alterations. Robert Canning Smith, of the Grove Inn, Brewery-street, applied to rebuild the premises on the present site. Mr. Desquesnes, who represented the applicant, said that the place was originally licensed in 1858, and the sanitary arrangements were of an unsatisfactory character. The drinking facilities would not be increased. The application was granted." Manchester Courier and Lancashire General Advertiser August 23, 1900.
