That rounded ended building and some on Abbey St, was the Red Lion Pub owned by Jacob Lang, he died not long after it was built and his son Jacob ran it.
There were also buildings round the back for stableing when it was a coaching inn.

Just as a matter of interest Atarah asked me where the other Red Lion was, that was also owned by Jacob Lang.
Do you know? its just a little bit before your time circa 1810. so Goggling is out.
