Pigot's Directory for 1830 lists Thomas Hanks as landlord of the Horse & Groom in Holywell Street. It is possible that this was at No.64, as it was occupied by a man with the surname Hanks in 1841. (It is not an error for the Horse & Jockey at No. 90, as this is also listed.

Pubs in other parts of Holywell parish
The Cock Pit (or Cockpit) pub in St Cross Road
See under Holywell Cockpit
This was also known as the Robin Hood pub after the adjacent cockpit closed down, and is so listed in directories of 1841, 1842, and 1853. When the landlady Mary Eaton died at the age of 74 on 26 September 1844 she was described as having been landlady of the Cock Pit in Holywell for upwards of fifty years.
Turf Tavern at 10 St Helen's Passage
This was also accessible from Bath Place (between Nos. 55 and 56 Holywell Street). Thomas Allsop was the landlord here in 1899, and Mrs Alice Allsop in 1914. There is some confusion over its address because of the way it sprawled into Bath Place, and directories from 1960 give its address as 10 Bath Place.
