Title: Thoms Look Up - 160 Parnell Street
Post by: magra68 on Monday 10 January 11 22:50 GMT (UK)

Hi,

I'm looking for more information on the history of 160 Parnell Street. Who lived there, what the buildings was used for etc... throughout the 19th and 20th c.

I know its been the premises of a public house called The Shakespeare from at least the 1920s. It has now been renamed The Hop House but still has lots of the original signage/interior.

Thanks in advance.
