THE BLACKMAN STREET AREA

Here is a view of Whitecross Street looking towards Trafalgar Street. this seems to have been built about 1843. Many years ago, until 1888, the corner shop, 13 Cheapside, was a small beer house called Napoleon the Third. The side wall inscription is as follows:- NAPOLEON THE THIRD CARTER’S HOME BREWED ALES AND STOUT STATION BREWERY, VINE STREET FAMILIES SUPPLIED WITH CASKS FROM 3 GALLONS UPWARDS This small brewery was originally at 8 Station Street, hence the name Station Brewery. It kept this name when it moved to 24/25 Vine Street, where it remained until 1891.
