ROSE AND CROWN, Friargate
ROSE AND CROWN #
Friargate
*
MINE HOST:
1743 James Holcroft
*
Court Leet presentment, October 24th 1743:
Mr. James Holcroft for not repairing the Pump
opposite the Rose and Crown, next Friargate Barrs,
and also the Pump beyond Friargate Barrs, both
of which are very much out of repair, and if not
done in 10 days we amerce him in 20 shillings.
*
The "Rose and Crown" was a tavern. When the
presentment, above, was made, it was the property
of Alderman William Harrison.
-
Its position seems to have been a little south of Friargate Bars.
It is possible that it became, or was re-named the
"Crown and Thistle" which was on the crest of
Friargate Brow.

Mentioned in the Court Leet Records of February 13th 1737.
The Bailiffs of the borough were caused to appear "For neglecting their
responsibilities in not repairing the streets in several parts of the town,

Anthony Hewitson commented that "it is not at all improbable that
the licence from this inn was transferred to the public house in
Chapel Yard, off Friargate.

A YOUNG ROGUE
A youth, about 16 or 17 years of age, named James Watson,
was placed in the dock at the Town Hall, on Monday last,
charged by Mr. James Moss, of the Sun Inn, Friargate,
with obtaining lodgings, eatables, and drinkables, at his
house under false pretences.
On the Monday previous he came to him, and represented
that he wanted lodgings for a few days, and that he came
from an uncle at Morecambe Bay. Mr. Moss told him he
would try and accommodate him, and up to Saturday last
supplied him wit all he requested, including tobacco, drink,
and 3d for a post-office order he said he was going for on
that day.
After he left the house to go for the order, he did not return,
and they heard nothing more of him till Sunday last, when a
woman came to enquire if they knew anything of him. This
led to his apprehension, when he stated that his father
resided at Bradford, and was a travelling Scotchman, to
whom he would write a note if they would allow him. He was
ordered to find good bail, or in default to be sent to the
House of Correction for a month.

THE FRUIT OF A GOOD EDUCATION
Mary Livesey, a dirty, drunken-looking woman,
preferred a charge of assault against Mr. William
Arkwright, landlord of the Sun Inn, Friargate.
The complainant stated that she had been brought
up in "good behaviour," and on the previous mornng,
between one and two o'clock, she was at Arkwright's
house, when he "punched" her, knocked her down,
and knocked some of her teeth loose. She was asked
if she had any witnesses, to which she replied, "Yes,
I have my dress." (laughter in court) She was told
that her dress couldn't speak at all.
The defendant stated that the complainant was very
disorderly, and persisted in drinking the liquor of
other people, and his wife turned her out. She returned
and repeated her bad conduct, when he put her out
himself.
She appeared determined to come in, so he "shoved"
her, and she fell. This occurred two or three times.
He had witnesses to prove that he hadn't "punched" her.
The case was dismissed.

IMPUDENT ROBBERY OF £14 -
A COURAGEOUS FEMALE
A man of rather respectable exterior, named
James Greenall, was charged with stealing
£14 from a drawer in the Sun Inn, Friargate,
the money of James Rigby, the landlord.
Miss Rigby said that on Wednesday afternoon,
the 22nd May, whilst upstairs in her father's
house, the prisoner came to her. She asked
him what he wanted, by he made no reply.
Immediately afterwards he went into another
room, and on seeing him put his hand into a
money drawer, pull out some gold and silver,
and put them in his pocket, she rushed to him,
seized him, and threw him upon the floor. She
tehn gave an alarm, and her father came upstairs
into the room, and secured the prisoner.
Committed to the Sessions for trial.

THOMAS ATHERTON AGAIN
On Monday, at the Police Court, a well-known
character, named Thomas Atherton, was
charged with stealing a weather-glass, the property
of Mr. James Rigby, of the Sun Inn, Friargate.
Atherton went into the Sun Inn, and had two
glasses of ale on Friday the 21st inst. There was a
weather-glass, woth about £1, in the room where
he had the drink, and when he entered the place
it was safe, when he had gone, the glass was
missing.
On the night of the same day, PC. Shakeshaft saw
the prisoner at the Punch Bowl in St. John Street.
Atherton had a bag with him, which he said contained
some rags. The officer, however, was suspicious,
and brought it along with the prisoner to the police
station. The bag was found to contain the weather-
glass, and when charged with its theft he replied,
I thought I had borrow it from the Sunn Inn. I
intended to play some music on it."
He pleaded guilty and was sent to the House of
Correction for a month.

BREACHES OF THE LICENSING ACT

Inn. He said he saw the defendant at the brew-house door,

It is certainly true that this is an ancient inn, but could it have been the 'Ratcliffe's' referred to by Laurence Rawsthorne in his Diary, June 30th 1687, "Ratcliffe's i'th Weend and Rigbys, and was at Bull. This day bottled wine."

NOTES: Written by J.H.Spencer of the Preston Herald in 1941:
To the ordinary pedestrian passing down Main Sprit Weind, this is just a narrow alley-way, dismal, steep and uninviting, overshadowed by large buildings on each side, and without interest. It is known that it was a popular residential quarter of the town years ago, though you wouldn't think so by modern standards. On the east side of the weind near the bottom, is a plot of land overgrown with bushes and weeds, enclosed with a high wall, and the place now (1941) appears to be used as a dumping ground for old bricks and coke breeze. This land is the remaining portion of the Old Coffee Garden referred to in the Court Leet Records, and famous in the annals of old Preston. In Rawsthorne's diary there are many entries recording visits to Swansey's in the Weind, and on two occasions Bellingham mentions the place.
Evidently they refer to an inn or place of refreshment which probably occupied the same site as the Coffee Garden of later years, for it had a bowling green attached to it where the diarist often bowled. It was a place of importance and considerable size, for in Rawsthorn'e diary there is an entry stating that 17 gentlemen dined there at one time. The name of this inn is not known, but apparently it was a much frequented place at the time of the diarists, (1689).
The Sun Inn was on the west side of the Weind, and next door to the Golden Ball, and opposite, on the east side was the New Town Hall Tavern. In the 1940's the Sun Inn had become the Yates' Wine Lodge, although the sign and name had vanished externally.
*
Lancashire Evening Post 15th October 2012
I have replied to the query in the above letter (LEP 16.1.2013)
in which I explained that the building dates back to the 1600's,
when the (thatched) roof will have been higher, and the slope of it more pitched - to dispel snow from the roof more readily.
The image will have originally have been surrounded by 'sun's rays' and will date from a time when inns and taverns were known "by the sign of............" and identifiable thereby, to the illiterate.
When the thatch was replaced, and the ridge lowered, the
sun's rays will have been lost.
This information has come from local historian, Colin Stansfield. Thank you, Colin

A PERILOUS POSITION FOR A CHILD
A four-year old child, the son of Mr. Westray, Sun Inn,
Main Sprit Weind, yesterday climbed up a ladder, reared
against a house in that street, upwards of two storeys high.
From that, he climbed up another placed upon the roof,
which was being thatched; and finally, gained the rigging,
upon which he sat with the self complacency of thousands
of other little fellows, who, in imagination, have "rode their
cock horses to Bambury Cross."
The young aspirant to an "elevated position" in his native
town was seen by a neighbour, who, in terror, informed the
child's father, whose feelings may be imagined on seeing
his little favourite in so dangerous a position.
The child, however, seemed unconscious of the danger that
menaced him - indeed, his unconcerned demeanour suggested
the notion that he might have been more than a match for the
famous "Benicia Boy," in jumping hand-in-hand from a house
top for the champion's belt.
With characteristic coolness, the father called to the child to
remain where he was, and he "would come and sit beside him."
The little fellow obeyed the command, and in less time than
it has taken us to relate the fact, he was brought safely to
terra firma.
