LATHAM HOUSE, St. John's Place

LATHAM or LATHOM HOUSE

St. John's Place

*

St. John's Place has taken various courses over the years,

including one where it ran between the Parish Church (now

the Minster) and the "EAGLE AND CHILD" public house.

-

It may well be that this is synonymous with that public house.
on the other hand.................?

BREWSTER SESSIONS

Mr. Blackhurst asked that the licence for the

LATHAM HOUSE,  which had been refused 

to Richard ALMOND, be given to the owner.

The Bench said they had decided not to give 

the licence to any person whose name was not

down on paper.

re -RICHARD ALMOND, Lathom House, 18 St. John's

Place.  The objection to the licence was that until recently,

Richard Almond had not lived at the house, but his mother

had, and she attended to and managed the business. The

house was licensed in Jane Almond's name in 1866, There

was a complaint that the house was frequented by prostitutes.

The Bench said that he was not a bona fide occupier, and 

therefore the licence could not be granted to him.
