It seems like he's at it again!

This piece doesn't tell you that Joseph Counsell was
an ex-Preston Borough Policeman himself! (personal knowledge)
Neither is there any indication which beerhouse the fracas took place.

THEN AND NOW

1807

A close of land called "THE CROWN" situated near

CROWN STREET, an acre and a half in extent,

advertised "to be let". This is now a dingy, 

thickly populated, and by no means over-civilised

part of Preston.
