KING'S ARMS, NEW Miller Arcade

"NEW" KING'S ARMS  #

Miller Arcade

*

After the Miller Arcade was built, the "KING'S ARMS" took its position

on the corner of Lancaster Road and Church Street. The Arcade also had a

Turkish Baths (right hand of picture beneath a half-moon door heading),

and a Geisha Dance Hall.

-

During the 1950's and 60's, and probably later also, the King's Arms were

known colloquially as "THE LONG BAR." I suspect that that had its

origins in the name of the landlord in 1940 - Thomas W. D. Long.

 *

MINE HOSTS:

1895                     Nathaniel Miller took over the licence of the original King's Arms that stood on this

                                   site. Once the building of the Miller Arcade was completed, the licence was 

                                   handed over to John Hayhurst.

1898 - 1936         John Atherton Hayhurst

1940 - 44             Thomas W. D. Long   (Given as Thomas E. Long in 1944)
1948                     John Watkinson

1957                     James Coughlin

Closed as the King's Arms on 3rd January 1862, but since then has had a variety of uses, most recently

as 'MANYANAS' - a younger persons bar / disco. (see below for an even later life).

*

The Sole Proprietors of "Real Stingo" were H.C. Breakell & Co.

Est 1839, 12 Church Street, Preston,  who had a brewery in North Street,

and a Bonded Vault in Avenham Street.

The asterisk is below the Red Lion of the 19th Century. There is no reason

that its predecessor was not the "Red Lyon," in the same position, and probably

the same building.

Taken from the Poor Rate Assessment Book 1732

L.R.O. Ref. CNP/3/1/11

*
However, Anthony Hewitson, in his notes relating to the Court Leet
Records, he wrote the following:
"The Red Lyon would, no doubt, be the name of a public house, 
and it would be situated towards the north or the south end of
Friargate - which end is now impossible to definitely say, but probably
the latter".

WHITE HORSE, Waterside

WHITE HORSE

MINE HOST:

1686                 William Wearden

1818                 James Harrison

*

In the Court Leet Records of January 21st 1686, there is

mentioned "That he scour the ditch belonging to the White Horse neare to the Water Side, and amend the footway
betwixt (now) and the 24th March 1686"

-

This would mean near to the Ribble, and it may be 

presumed that it was the building, which was known as the 

"Regatta Inn," and which in the past stood at the bottom

of Fishergate Hill, or that it was near to the site of that place.

WINDMILL, The, Bottom of Friargate

(THE) WINDMILL    #

Bottom of Friargate

MINE HOST:
1833       ??

The windmill at the bottom of Friargate was on Mill Hill,

immediately behind the Adelphi Hotel. Whether there was

a pub of that name close to that I don't know. Does anybody?

*

That Convenient and Well-accustomed PUBLIC-

situate at the bottom of Friargate. The cellaring is

excellent, and there is a good supply of Water.

WHITE HART, Gin Bow Entry

WHITE HART   #

5 Gin Bow Entry

*

Let me give you a few bearings:
Gin Bow Entry stood where Harris Street now stands. The road down the right 
of the plan is Lancaster Road. Everything below Gin Bow Entry is now
covered by the Harris Museum and Art Gallery.
Yes, that's right! We had to sacrifice SEVEN or EIGHT pubs, (possibly as many as TEN) 
just to make way for the Museum.

                                                                               was the tenant. The property had stables, a brew-house, and other

1863 - 65               Mrs. Ellen Leeming   I'm at Gin Bow Entry (1861) and noticed that  
                                          John Leeming's son  Robert Leeming has an 
                                          unclear middle initial so I checked it on the 
                                          birth records and he was Robert L. The L stands
                                          for Lucas and I notice on your site that the 
                                          previous innkeeper was Robert Lucas with a 
                                          daughter Ellen. She married John Leeming in 
                                          Mar 1846, so effectively the Inn was in the

FELONY
On Tuesday, at the Town Hall, a young man named William Connell, a labourer, was charged with stealing three shillings and ten-pence in copper, from the White Hart public-house, Gin Bow Entry.
It was stated that the prisoner went into the house, and called for a glass of ale; while the prosecutor, Mr. Lucas, was absent to draw it, he went into the bar, and abstracted the money from the till. The prisoner denied having taken the money, but he was fully committed for trial.

The Leemings were not the last to make the move from the Anglers'Arms to
the White Hart. Peter Longton and his wife made the same move 20 years
later.  I wonder if there was a closer connection between them?
