SHOVEL AND BROOM, Patten Street

SHOVEL AND BROOM INN   #

20 or 22, Patten Street

- Referred to as the "MALT SHOVEL" in Preston Chronicle 18.4.1857 -

*

This map runs more or less north / south.  If you were to  walk from Great Shaw Street into Patten Street, the "SHOVEL AND BROOM"  was on the right, or east side of Patten Street.  Judging from the size of each property, I think the most likely site is the first building on the right hand side.
-
Also, counting the numbers of the properties, staring on the left hand side, and returning along the right hand side (in single numbers), will bring you to 20 - 22, which would appear to offer some confirmation of that theory.
-
The second plan shows it almost opposite the end of Pearson's Row, and by that means can, with a degree of certainty, locate it on the upper plan.

NB.   Henry SEED, mine host in 1840, was the son of Robert SEED,landlord of the NORTH STAR, Great George Street, Preston.  After the death of his wife, Alice (Gardner) Seed, in 1840, he left the pub and went to live with his older brother, WILLIAM, a farmer, in Claughton-on-Brock.

His wife and daughter Mary, are both buried in St. Wilfrid's Cemetery, and Henry eventually returned to Preston, where he died in 1855. He was buried at St. Ignatius's Church on the 17th December 1855, aged 64 years, because St. Wilfrid's had been closed the year before.

Preston Chronicle  15th February 1840
I think that 'North Road' in the above, should have read 'North Street',
and although this house wasn't in North Street, I have come across cases
where Patten Street has been referred to as 'North Street'.
