THE TANNERS' ARMS
Mr. Parker supported the application with regard to the Tanners' Arms, Adelphi Street.
The matter was before the court on the last transfer date, and the application was rejected.
On that occasion he asked the magistrates if they would kindly say what the objection was, and he gathered from them that it was because of the increase in drinking facilities.
Why a man could not have convenience for the carrying on of his business he could not understand, but no doubt their  did.
The room which it was then proposed to provide was done away with in the plan now submitted. There would be no increase in the drinking facilities, but there would be more accommodation for the family. There were only two bedrooms.
He had a letter from a doctor, who, from a sanitary point of view, put it that the house was unfit to live in. What they proposed to do now was to improve the house for residential purposes, and give an open yard where there was a mass of buildings. The alteration would give an addition of two bedrooms.
Mr. Thwaites explained the plans.

Frederick Arthur Whittle b.1894. He was the landlord of the Tanners Arms. He looks a bit rum on this picture but of course he was older & had been quite a handsome chap when young. His brother was my grandfather George Thomas Whittle D.C.M. They were from Ashton-on-Ribble. He is the one who I believe fell down the cellar steps. I think he might have been changing the barrels but I don't know for sure. I think he died in 1956 so there may well be something in the papers about it.
