Any more info on the Marquis of Waterford, 2 or 4 Russell St please?

A haunt of Charles Peace and would like to know exactly where it was and perhaps find a pic . The landlord was Cragg.

thanks

I think it was here - corner of Russell Street and Bower street in 1890. By the 1950's there was a weighbridge and industrial buildings on the site.

Thank you both  very much, not sure why the Kelham Isand Tavern  (was the Alma ( isnt marked?

Believe Alma, once Kelham Tavern now Fat Cat was on what is now Alma St which is above White Hart, now Kelham Island Tavern and Globe Steel Works

Pugilism.

Bell's Life in London and Sporting Chronicle 16 December 1865.

It seems possible that The Marquis of Waterford may have also been a Boxing Venue in its past.
The Fight Mentioned lasting 66 Rounds in 1 Hour 45 Minutes.

Intriguing although also horrible. Did J P Bean write something about fighting? I expect there would have been a big crowd. Thanks for efforts
