She also confirms the Colliers was on Plantation Street.
There is no pub missing, I suggest you read some of the previous posts, but just in case you haven't here is the list again.

In the block staring at Adelaide St, to Plantation St, from Abbey St, to Cobham Rd.
There were the 12 places to get plastered.
Swan Inn Abbey St.
Kings Arms Lee St.
Gardeners Arms Chapel St.
Oak Tree Inn Abbey St.
Red Lion Abbey St.
Peels Arms Birtwistle St.
Pine Apple Elephant St.
Prince of Wales Higher Pitt St.
Royal Oak Plantation St.
St Ledger Plantation St.
Weavers Arms Abbey St.
Welcome Inn Elephant St.
Two church's, Wesley & New Jerusalem, more supped than prayed.
That pub never had a sign which read Come & Welcome, when those pubs were selling stagger juice, I lived for over 20 years round the other corner in Hargreaves St.
