1820 Settler Places in Britain and Éire

In many cases, particularly in cities like London and Bristol, many buildings with settler ties no longer exist. In such cases I have tried to include historical pictures where possible, and where I have not been able to take pictures myself I have added pictures from www.geograph.co.uk, which can be used under a Creative Commons Licence. Where the photographer’s name appears as a clickable link followed by a CC BY-SA 2.0 reference, the original photo can be viewed together with other photographs of the surrounding area.

The pictures are currently arranged by county for England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, with separate sections for the cities of Birmingham, Bristol, Dublin, Edinburgh, Liverpool, London, Manchester and Nottingham. London has been further sub-divided into Boroughs so as not to have too many pictures in one file. The pictures appear as small icons with a brief title. Clicking on them will reveal a larger picture with text explaining the link to one or more settlers and a credit to the photographer. Clicking on the + sign will further enlarge the picture to full screen (ESCape to exit full screen), and the photographs can all be downloaded from the site.

 

Old Wellington Inn

Old Wellington Inn
1st June 2018
Sue Mackay

The Old Wellington Inn is the oldest building of its kind in Manchester, built in 1552 next to the market square, in what was known as the Shambles. It was originally a draper's shop and did not become a licensed public house until 1830, but members of George SMITH's Party would have walked past the building on their way to the market. In 1996 it was damaged in the Manchester bombing, and as part of the redevelopment in the aftermath of the bombing the whole building, alongside its neighbour, Sinclair's Oyster Bar, was moved 300 metres closer to the Cathedral.
