Comments:
As the Foy and Gibson retail and manufacturing empire expanded, the company bought up properties in Oxford and Cambridge streets to demolish and replace with their factories and warehouses during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. While we can safely say that the site of the Rising Sun was eventually incorporated into the Foy and Gibson factory complex, whether the building was demolished at that time or earlier has yet to be ascertained.
