Grove House, Ellor Street, Hanky Park. (c) Paul Wilson with posthumous permission.
Jacobs Well was a beerhouse on the corner of Ellor Street (bottom end) and Elizabeth Street in Hanky Park, opening in the mid-1850s. Groves & Whitnall bought Jacobs Well by 1896 and the brewery renamed the beerhouse after themselves, as Grove House. A compulsory purchase order in 1959 - presumably an early part of the Hanky Park slum clearances - saw off the Grove House in 1960. Then landlords, George and Tilly Banner, moved to the Park Inn on Tatton Street, Ordsall, which was later to become the Rovers Return [1].

The landlord and landlady were called Bramer not Banner
ReplyDeleteMy great great grandfather , Frederick Mercer ran the pub in 1881 with his son Samuel. It was listed in the census as 162 Ellor Street, he was a beerhouse keeper so presumably it was an alehouse with no spirits on sale.
