The Market Porter

Overview

The Market Porter was officially established in 1890 during the reign of Queen Victoria. However, there has been a pub on the corner position since at least 1638, and it was apparently renamed The Market Porter in 1890. Why it took the name is open to debate. Previously known as the Harrow, the pub was the site of a grisly 1890 murder.
