JUDGE AND STRUGGLE, High Street

JUDGE AND STRUGGLE

61 High Street

*
Became the "ORMSKIRK TAVERN"
*

Not sure where this name came from, but 'The Struggle'

was a periodical newspaper that was published by 

Joseph Livesey, the Temperance Movement Founder.

-

Austin Healey, the landlord of the pub in 1865, was also

a bookseller who lived at 22 Ormskirk Road. Perhaps

'The Struggle' was something that he sold in his shop, 

or perhaps it was just a playful gesture against the 

Temperance Movement

Where the 'judge' part come from I don't know,

but High Street was a traditional way for the judges

to enter and leave the town when the Quarter

Sessions were being held.

-

 There was also an entrance to the High Street

pub from the side of 22 Ormskirk Road.

42 Ormskirk Road is a mis-print for 22.

This one is interesting because it refers to an application to change its name
almost 15 years after it had been called that name. It obviously caused
some amusement in the Court.
