PILOT INN, ADDISON'S YARD, CHURCH STREET

______________________

JAMES PALMER (for many years a Sergeant in the

Borough Police Force), has taken and entered upon

the PILOT INN, lately called HUMPHREY'S CLOCK INN,

which he has spared no pains or expense to render

confortable for the reception of his friends; and he

trusts by keeping a first-rate glass of ALE and

PORTER, to secure a fair share of public patronage.

DEATH - On the 26th inst., Harriet, 

youngest daughter of Mr. James Palmer, 

the Pilot Inn, Addison's Yard, Church Street,

aged 3 years.

Preston Chronicle 6th January 1877Although it doesn't say as much, but in the context of the article, I have
assumed that "Polly Egan's" is a licensed property.  The fact that it's
been enclosed in apostrophes suggests it was a nickname for something
else.  After 'Humphrey's Clock', this place became 'The Pilot', and no
doubt it had other names as well.
