Hi Daz

A very interesting enquiry. It might appear to me though, going by the 1795 Palmer period map, the tavern was halfway between Rodney Street and the bend in the road that is still there, as shown on
Google Maps, i.e., the bend in the road is around where May Street runs north toward Pleasant Street. I would therefore put the tavern and bowling green somewhat further west of the hotel, north of and opposite, quite appropriately, Roscoe Street. By the way, wouldn't it seem likely that Green Lane, running parallel to Mount Pleasant and behind the row of houses that included the hotel, got its name from the bowling green?
All the best
Chris
