TALBOT INN, Chapel Yard

TALBOT INN   #
1 Chapel Yard
*
 This image comes to us courtesy of Preston Digital Archives.
The building to the right of the lamp post is what was the Talbot Inn. The bricked-up area was a bay window.
I think that this tavern had a long and interesting history, a lot of which is still waiting to be discovered, but I think that in 1796 it was known as 'Kitty's Whim', and possibly before that 'Mattie's Whim' and 'The Duke of Cumberland'.
*
 
This plan shows the bay window quite clearly.
Use this map in conjunction with the sketch I've done below.

UNWHOLESOME  MEAT
Mr. Inspector Marriott applied to the Magistrates
for the condemnation of a carcass of sheep that was
unfir for human food, and which had been found in
a loft over a stable attached to the Talbot Inn.,
Chapel Yard, Friargate.

The sheep, which was dressed as if for food, had
been offered for sale by Mr. John France, Farmer,
of Whittingham, to a butcher, who apprised Mr. Marriott
of the fact, and of the whereabouts of the carcass.

Mr. Frankland, butcher, deposed that the carcass
was not fit for food, and the Magistrates condemned it.
