N.B. Edward Street wasn't constructed until
about 1833, so there must have been an
entrance from Friargate. SEE NEXT ARTICLE:

EDITOR'S NOTE:- A correspondent under this
signature (J. Watson), complains of a number of nuisances
which "seriously affect the comfort, health, and character of
the inhabitants of Edward Street."
We would have been glad to insert the letter, but it is couched
in terms rather too personal. Mr. Watson thus particularizes
the causes of annoyance:-
First - that there is a deposit of manure near to the works of
J.P. PARK and MR. WATSON; and
Secondly - a prevalent practice of playing at QUOITS in a
public thoroughfare opposite the BOWLING GREEN
PUBLIC HOUSE.

ANOTHER DESPERADO
Patrick Roach, an Irishman, was charged with committing
wilful damage. Thomas Shorrock, landlord of the Bowling
Green, Edward Street, said that early on Sunday morning,
the prisoner commenced throwing bricks, stones, &c., at
the windows of his house. No one durst go out of the place,
for fear of being hurst. There were some more persons with
the prisoner. One of the bricks thrown went through one of
the bedroom windows. The prisoner said he was willing to
pay for the damage done.

In May 1863, the licence for the Bowling Green Inn
was transferred to Henry Wilkinson.
At the Licensing Sessions in August 1863, that licence
was suspended, the landlord having kept the house
'irregularly', and attempted, on several occasions, to
evade the detection of the police.
Preston Chronicle 29th August 1863
*
EDWARD WILKINSON, of the Bowling Green Inn,
Edward Street, applied for a renewal of his licence.
Mr. Dunn (Police), in answer to the Bench, said he
objected to Wilkinson having a licence at all. He was
a most unfit man to have one.
The applicant was guilty of admitting persons into his
house at all times, and there were constant complaints
made by parties residing in the neighbourhood.
The owner of the property was called on by the Bench,
who told him that they would not grant a licence to the
then tenant, but that they would grant it to him.
Preston Chronicle 26th September 1863
I don't know who the owner was.

two sovereigns, saying that she would not be in the fault.
The landlord, John Woodhouse, said he saw the prosecutor
enter his house and fall asleep. He saw Harrison go to the
