This is a very interesting addition. Is it possible that this
house had previously been known as the "Queen's Head Inn"?
The order for the "Bell's Weekly Advertiser" a sporting paper, was written locally, by or on behalf of the editor of the Preston Chronicle, Isaac Wilcockson.

It is, of course, possible, that there is a human error
involved.
Dated:   August 21st 1841

SELLING  DRINK  DURING  PROHIBITED  HOURS.
George Sharples, landlord of the Griffin Head Inn, Lancaster Road, was summoned for selling drink during prohibited hours. PC Watson said that at 10 minutes to twelve o'clock the previous Sunday he was on duty in Lancaster Road, when he saw the defendant hand out to a man a jug of ale. He told the landlord that he would report him, to which he replied, "You must look over it this time. I am not in the habit of filling drink."
Mr. Edelston appeared for the defendant, and called a man who stated that he received the beer for a sick person. 
The Bench dismissed the case upon payment of costs.
