The replacement building for the original (above). In actual fact, I've a feeling that that one
was a replacement for an even earlier one.

At the end of August 1866, an application was made to the licensing justices for a full licence for the Neptune Inn:
'Mr. Thomas Fairclough, occupier of the Neptune Inn, West Strand Road, the owner of which is Mr. William Coward, made the next application. Mr. Forshaw supported the claim. "This house has a good cellar and brewhouse, but no stabling. On the ground floor are a vault, a bar parlour, and a kitchen; on the first floor, a Club-room, a sitting room, and two bedrooms; on the second floor, four bedrooms. The nearest public house is the New Quay Inn, about fourteen yards distant." Mr. Forshaw said the building had good and airy rooms, and three clubs were held there, one of them being connected with the men employed at the Waggon Works. The dischargers at the quay and others would find the house a great convenience. It was situate on one of the high-roads to the Fylde; and in the immediate neighbourhood there were large workshops, the employees of which had to pass the house. The New Quay Inn had been built before the Waggon Works, the quay warehouses, and, he believed, the shipyards were in existence.
The rent of the house was £36 8s, and was assessed at £29 10s rates. He was frequently asked for spirits.
