26 Melville Street, Lincoln
26 Melville Street, Lincoln
A former public house it is nothing but a field on Padley's 1842 map but by 1851 it is the dwelling house and workshops of Fambrini, moulded stone manufactures and modellers. Directories show it was occupied by William Huddlestone builder, stone & marble mason & contractor 1856 to 1861. The 1868 directory would seem to indicate it is unoccupied as I can't locate anyone at 26 Melville street and Joseph Fambrini is listed as modeller Waterside South and also at the Packet Inn (or possibly Boston Packet) Waterside North and William Huddleston is in High Street. However by 1869 it is at least partly converted to a Dram Shop (18th Century term for a place that sold gin by the spoonful) for Joseph Fambrini by Architect W Watkins. In 1872 three occupants are listed, Joseph Fambrini victualler, William Goodall Stonemason and Edward German Brown blacksmith but by 1885 it has become Fambrini & Daniels "artificial stone manufacturers, Canwick road & Melville street" and William Peacock at the Crown and Cushion Inn. Other landlords listed are, 1889 Joseph Cooper, 1894-1901 George Welton, 1905 Mrs Emily Welton, 1909 Robert Turner, 1913-1919 Arthur Belcher. Kelly's 1965 lists it but no name is given. It was the Crown and Cushion until 1982 when the name became Sippers (Ansells Brewery). From January 2011 it was Scotty’s Bar but by January 2012 it was boarded up with a for sale sign. During 2012 it became The Pelham Bridge Free House only to be converted to student residential use April-May 2014.
