To the Overseers of the Poor and the Constable of the
Borough of Preston, and to all whom it may concern.
I, JOSEPH BARTON, now residing in Preston in the
County of Lancaster, and for six months last past having
resided at Ambleside in the County of Westmoreland,
do hereby give notice that it is my intention to apply at
the General Annual Licensing Meeting, to be holden at
the Town Hall in the Borough of Preswton, on the 27th
August, next, a licence to sell exciseable liquors by retail,
to be drunk or consumed in the house or premises
thereunto belonging, situate on the west side of Fox Street,
within Preston, and on the north side of a road leading
past the North End of the Catholic School in the said street,
belonging to Mr. William Miller of Preston, aforesaid, at
present occupied by John Smith, Tailor, and which I intend
to keep as an Inn, Aleshouse or Victualler.
Signed: Joseph Barton

L.R.O. ref: QSP/3030/15 - 1835
We the Undersigned do hereby certify that Joseph
Barton was Butler to the late Edward Pedder Esq.,
for upwards of twenty-five years, and remained with
him until his death. That he is a man of good fame,
and a fit and proper person to be entrusted with a
licence to sell Ale, Beer, and other exciseable liquors
by retail.

L.R.O. ref: QSP/3030/16 - 1835
We, whose names are hereunto subscribed, being
occupiers of property near the Corn Exchange in
Preston, are of the opinion that another Public House
near that Building would be a great convenience to
Farmers and others attneding the Market, a number
of them being put to a great inconvenience for not
being enabled to get Stabling in the neighbourhood;
and we think that the house now occupied by John
Smith in Fox Street, with the Stabling behind the same,
would, if licensed, from its central situation, contiguity
to the Exchange and the expansive Corn and Coal Trade,
carried on in Lune Street, Wharfe Street and Fleet
Street, will be a great accomodation to the Public.
