Town Inns in 1830 In the Rev. J.T. Becher's day there would have been at least eighteen inns with five in King St. alone. To the left of the Admiral Rodney was The Black Bull whose name survives in Bull Yard. To the right was The Portland Arms where the Portland Arcade is today and further right was The Wheatsheaf and White Swan. The Admiral Rodney takes its name from the famous sailor who masterminded the defeat of the Spanish navy in 1780 at Cape St. Vincent. Towns Inns would have been used for a variety of activities. Many people would have been drawn to the premises for meetings of private clubs, public auctions, wrestling and cock fighting.
