Cripplehall & 8 Row, Boston, Lincs

I don’t know how well this intersects with previous postings, but just in case it adds anything:

The article quoted below places Cripple Hall in Rosegarth Street, now demolished. This map view shows Rosegarth Street running NS between Lincoln Lane and West Street. The map is underlaid with a modern street map showing that the southernmost end of Rosegarth Street still exists.

2 November 1938: Boston Guardian

SHE OWNS CRIPPLE HALL
At the beginning of the 19th century, a large brick building, known as Cripple Hall, stood on the south side of the west end of Lincoln-lane. So stated Pishey Thompson, authoritative Boston antiquarian, in 1856. He went on to say that Cripple Hall had been taken down for several years.

This much about Cripple Hall, we published in our last week's issue. Shortly afterward, I met a Boston lady who informed me that Cripple Hall was still standing and that she owned it. She was Mrs. Louiza Blackamore, of 8, Station-street, and she produced deeds going back a century and more, to substantiate her statement. Legal documents have always tended to confound me, but after spending a quiet hour with faded writing and black coffee, I found the following reference:

'Also all that Cottage or Tenement situate and being in Boston aforesaid on the West side the Water in or near the said Lane called Lincoln Lane abutting on the Cottage or Tenement last mentioned east on Lands late of said Edward Bainton and then of said Zephaniah Porter called Cripple Hall West on the said Lane ...'

The modern address of the Hall which was in old days occupied by the Cripple Monks is 30, Rosegarth-street, and is occupted by Mr. F. Kent. Mrs. Blackamore tells me that when she took over the property about 13 years ago, there were still signs of its ancient connections. Wooden carvings, old fireplaces and lattice windows were removed in its conversion into a modern dwelling house, floors were rebuilt and little now remains to testify to the existence of one of Boston's oldest buildings. Its bricks, however, are described by Mrs. Blackamore as 'some of the hardest in the town.'

For what its worth , this 1966 map has no. 30 Rosegarth Street labelled, still standing but looking forlorn.

Further to reply #18 about no. 30 Rosegarth Street

In 1921
no. 30 Rosegarth Street is occupied by a Blackamore family, although no Louiza is present.

at no. 26 (there is no 28) licensed victualler, 'at home',  Tom Rushton, suggestive of a pub

in 1939
Tom Rushton, Hoppole Inn, at no, 26 and the resident of no. 30 is indeed Mr F Kent

I'm not sure how useful 1939 routes are but the record goes:
Pinfold Lane > 20 Rosegarth Street – 34 Rosegarth Street > Lincoln Lane
suggesting that it was at the north end of Rosegarth Street near Lincoln Lane, which fits with the earlier descriptions of its location, and with the map that I just posted.

Looking at the map posted by HT in reply # 1, I wonder if the Hoppole Inn is the PH on the west side in the upper section of Rosegarth Street.
