At the Guild of 1862 Joseph Tate was the landlord, and in the Trades Processions the Smiths started from the Anglers' Inn. They were headed by a man in armour on horseback representing Vulcan, behind which equestrian group came a lorry drawn by two horses. On this was a workman's bench at which were engaged three men and a boy making and fitting up the framework of a lamp for Joseph Tate of the Anglers' Inn. The lamp was still preserved in 1941, and at that time was hanging over the doorway at the entrance to the inn.

MATTHEW BROWN and Co. Ltd.
The second annual general meeting of this company was held on Thursday last, at the Anglers' Inn, Pole Street, Preston; Mr. Bibby in the chair.
There was a very fair attendance of shareholders. The chairman, in opening the proceedings, called upon Mr. Hoyle, the secretary, to read the circular convening the meeting, after which, with some explanatory remarks the director's report and statement of accounts were submitted, and their adoption moved by the chairman.
They were considered of a very satisfactory character, and were adopted without dissent. The report included a proposal of a dividend at the rate of ten per cent per annum, which will be paid, on and after the 9th November.
After the re-election of the directors and auditors, a special vote of thanks was cordially accorded to Mr. Matthew Brown for the very liberal terms upon which he transferred his valuable business to the company, and for the experienced assistance contributed by him to the transaction of the company's affairs. Cordial votes of thanks to the directors, managing directors, secretary and chairman brought the meeting to a close.

SERIOUS GAS EXPLOSION
Shortly after ten o'clock on Thursday night, a terrible explosion occurred at the Anglers' Inn, Pole Street, doing a great amount of damage and seriously injuring the landlord and a customer. It appears someone had been playing with the parlour chandelier, causing the gas to escape, and when the landlord went to light up the gas ignited. The house was partly shattered, the walls split, and most of the windows smashed to atoms. The landlord was shockingly burnt, as was the customer, and both are in the infirmary. The shock was felt throughout the neighbourhood.

J.H. Spencer, a reporter with the Preston Herald, described this inn in 1941 as 'a perfect specimen of an early Victorian inn, unspoilt yet by modernity.' At that date, compared with others it was not a very old inn, but it did have originality. Ir was erected about 1840, and 100 years later it looked exactly the same as when built. The land on which it was built was a former stone-mason's yard and its chief characteristic was a large sculpture plaque over the doorway. This depicted an angler in the act of fishing. He wore the quaint costume of the day (1840's), which included a semi-tall hat, his fishing basket over his shoulder, and in his right hand he holds the fishing net to receive the fish he is supposed to have caught! In his other hand is the rod complete with line held aloft. The whole piece of work was a delicate and attractive work of art, and the angler represented is believed to have been a friend of Matthew Brown, the first landlord after it was built.
Matthew Brown lived at the Anglers' Inn until about 1860, afterwards moving to East View, and later, just before his death in 1883, he resided at Moorfields, Ribbleton. He always retained his affection for the Anglers' Inn, and after his firm had been made into a limited company in 1875, the statutory annual meetings were held in November, the shareholders being always entertained to luncheon there. In the early days it was well known as the meeting place of various trade societies of the town, and was famous for its catering.
