Hi. The impression I get is that there are people who do not seem to believe that there was a pub called The Spread Eagle before it was renamed The Railway Hotel, I was trying to make the point that there is evidence to back up your documentation. I dont have these documents nor do I have the census forms from 1841/51 and I am not in a position to visit the library I closed my eyes and tried to visualise that area of Accy.. The other thing I thought it could have been is that there was a Bank or other company that had an eagle as an emblem though I thought that very unlikely. There are probably other streets named after pubs, next quest for Katex perhaps!
