HUNT'S ARMS, King Street

 HUNT'S ARMS
or
HENRY HUNT'S ARMS 
King Street.
*
The earlier date of Hartley's occupancy would have coincided
with the time of Henry 'The Orator' Hunt's time as Liberal Member of Parliament
for Preston. I don't know whether the name of the house is a reference to him.
*
MINE HOST:
1832 - 41    Lawrence Hartley (property owned by Thomas Dean -
                                                      Preston Chronicle 20.7.1839)
*
JERRY-SHOP CONVICTIONS: Yesterday, Lawrence Hartley of the Henry Hunt jerry shop, was cnvicted of keeping open his house at forbidden hours, and fined 40 shillings.
