HIGHLAND LADDIE, Avenham Street

HIGHLAND LADDIE
31  Avenham Street
*
MINE HOSTS:
1853                Thomas Patterson  - There was a John Patterson at the Highland Lad in North Street.
1860     See Sale notice 23.6.1860
1860 - 71        John Barron

*
It is believed that the place closed down in 1871.
It was still open at the time of the Census of that
year, named as above, and situated next door to the
"GARTH'S ARMS. " 
See P.C. 2.9.1871

I think Barron went, in 1871, to the Clarence Hotel
in Grimshaw Street, a hotel that was to become a
music hall.

27.8.1870 - Licence objected to on the grounds that
the landlord was allowing prostitutes on the premises.

At the licensing sessions of 1869, there was an objection to the renewal of the beer and wines licence. Mr. Edelston appeared on behalf of the applicant, John Barron. 
Mr. Ascroft said the objection was for allowing prostitutes in his house. P.S. Keefe said that he knew the beerhouse, and had been there half a dozen times within the past few days, and he had seen drunken men and prostitutes there.
Mr. Edelston said that no complaint had been made to the landlord, who had kept it for nine years, and had borne a good character. He then handed the man's character to the magistrates, which was written by a person who had known him for nine years, and it stated that he did not know anything against the man's character. The certificate was granted.
