Cottage and Rainbow, 26 Jordan Well
| These premises have been known by different names during their history: | FROM | TO | NAME |
| 1835 | ? | BEERHOUSE | |
| 1840 | ? | RAINBOW | |
| 1841 | 1868 | COTTAGE AND RAINBOW | |
This is a strange combination. Could the name be a joining of two previous pubs' names? The pub appears on the 1851 Public Health Map.
In 1840 the RAINBOW in Jordan Well was used for auctions. In 1841 the licensee of the RAINBOW was J. Gray. The 1850 Directory states the COTTAGE AND RAINBOW licensee as J. Gray.
 The Cottage and Rainbow was on the near corner with Freeth Street, on the right, used as a bicycle shop by the time this photo was taken in the 1920s. | |||
