The Black Bull. 1991.
On this site away back in 1845 stood a licensed grocers business. A full public house licence was obtained in 1873.
Audley Thomson the spirit merchant had a lot of competition then as there were 25 licensed premises on High Street, this was half the amount in the 1840s, he continued to serve the public here until Peter Paterson took control of the business in 1893. Mr Paterson was paying an annul rent of £90.00. He lived at 119 Paisley Road West. Peter did not last long in this pub as he sold up in 1901.
Mr Peter Paterson. C 1901.
Bernard McAnulty the took over the pub, he was no stranger to the trade as he also owned a pub at 11-13 South St Mungo Street now Ross Street at the world famous Glasgow Barras, and the Old Ship Bank on the Saltmarket. McAnulty lived in posh accommodation at Monteith Row.
