BOAR'S HEAD, Friargate Brow
BOAR'S HEAD
Friargate Brow
*
This inn is marked on a 1694 Map
held at L.R.O. (see below)
*
*
It may be that this inn is synonymous with the Seven Star(r)s Inn,
*
Anthony Hewitson, however, wrote the following in
his notes to the Preston Court Leet Records,
"The "Boarshead" was an inn, and presumably was, or
stood on the site of, the present 'Boar's Head Hotel,"
near the top of Friargate" He then gave the entry,
taken from the Records:
"Thomas Worden, Landlord at Boarshead, for suffering
prople's carts to stand in public street at night, without
any Light at his Door, and for every offence after notice,
we amerce him 6s 8d."
Court Leet Records October 23rd 1782
The evidence from the 1684 map seems conclusive that
the Boar's Head was on Friargate Brow at that time, and
would seem to lend weight to it being there 100 years later.
Pers. comm.

LEGS OF MAN, Gin Bow Entry
LEGS OF MAN
Gin Bow Entry
Thought to be synonymous with "The Board" and the "Ram's Head"
MINE HOSTS:
1812 William Worden
1818 Mary Worden
1818 Mary Worden
1821 Peter Worden
1825 - 29 Peter Worden (as 'The Board')
*
The 1818 Dirrectory gave no name for Mary Worden's premises - it
was shown as a dash.
The 1821 record gave the name LEGS OF MAN.
The name for the later records gave the name 'The Board'.
There's nothing certain but I think the two are synonymous with one another.

James Smith, beer-seller, of Cable Street, appeared before the magistrates for selling, on the 28th January, a quarter glass of gin, and one of rum.
Mr. F. Armstrong appeared for the information, and Mr. Ascroft for the defendant.
Mr. Elmey, officer in the excise, was the informer in this case, and was cross-examined by Mr. Ascroft, who afterwards called several witnesses whose evidence went against the material testimony of the officer.
The defendant's witness swore distinctly that no rum had been sold to the informant on the day in question; and as the magistrates considered that the evidence for the information had been rebutted, the case was dismissed.
