2 Old Grapes Lane

Where exactly

Old Grapes Lane was one of the Lanes behind Scotch Street, cleared for the shopping centre; the pin marks roughly where it was, not the building. The position is approximate.

At 2 Old Grapes Lane, one of the pubs that stood in the Lanes, the tight network of alleys and courts behind Scotch Street that ran down towards the river before postwar clearance. It was the Grapes Inn, trading before 1764, and later took the name the Gleaner, also written the Gleanor, trading until 1870 by one record and 1875 by another. In November 1875 a temperance society opened the British Workman Institute in the former Gleaner public house, which may well be this building: see the Gleaner. Parson and White's directory of 1829 names Ann Hetherton as its keeper. J. Wainman signed the innkeepers' memorial of February 1867 for the Gleaner.
