1965 The Church Hotel is on the right with English Martyrs Church in
the background. Dominating the centre of the image is a mens urinal. A
common sight in Preston up to the mid 60's they were known locally as
'Iron Dukes' probably named after the 'Audacious' class battleship HMS
Iron Duke launched in 1870. (Flickr)
However, there was a beerhouse higher up North Road called the Iron Duke. That acquired its name in 1860 at the latest. I think they were named after the Duke of Wellington.

NEW HOUSE TO LET
Newly erected INN or PUBLIC HOUSE (recently licensed) called
the "CHURCH HOUSE", situate at the junction of the Great North
and Lancaster Roads in Preston.
The House contains 11 rooms, with a Gig House, Yard and Stabling.
-
Further particulars apply to Richard Duckett, the Owner, Auctioneer, Preston.
Preston Chronicle 18th October 1839
This advertisement refers to "Church House" - and, indeed, it was right outside
St. Thomas's Church, providing stabling for some members of the congregation no doubt -
but I don't think it was ever called by this name. However, about ten years earlier, another
public house opened on Lancaster Road which was named "Church House Tavern"

| Before Joseph Ware took over at the Church Hotel, he was a fishmonger on the corner of Church Street and Lancaster Road. These two rival fish dealer's adverts would indicate a bit of rivalry. Don't forget, Joseph Ware was born in Hackney, in the East End of London. |
