Open in 1843 by Thomas Spain who lasted there till 1851 when he finally closed up shop.

However, this was not the end of the premises as a drinking establishment, as in 1889 it opened again, this time as a coffee house called the "Harbour Lights," but this too was short lived and it was again closed by the end of 1890.
