where in Lisburn?
« on: Monday 28 October 13 15:40 GMT (UK) »
Hi there,

I am hoping someone may know where "Corn Market" and "The Crane" were in Lisburn in the mid 1700's? Any ideas would be great!!

Many thanks!

Google finds details of the Corn Market very quickly-

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Thank you so much!
I feel a little foolish-the answer was so simple and I thought I was a pretty good googler.

That just leaves "The Crane". This is the context of the place I am working with. From the Belfast Newsletter 1770.
"Removed – John Brown, Hardware Merchant, has removed from the shop he formerly possessed in Lisburn, to Mr. Mussen's Shop at the Crane, opposite the Wheat Market; where he intends carrying on his business as formerly..."
Any ideas?
