YORK CASTLE, 101 Adelphi Street

YORK CASTLE  #

101 Adelphi Street

 c. 1899 - William and Catherine NEWBY are standing together, just to the right of 

the door. William was a hansom cab driver.  Later, the Co-op, took over the York Castle

and the shop you can (just) see next door (to the left), and opened a store.

I have a feeling that number 100 was already owned by the Co-op.
*

The "Britannia" can just be seen to the left of the arch legs.
The "York Castle" is directly above the chair, right, and the
"Victoria " is to the right of the right leg of the arch.
The image is taken from Preston Digital Archives Flickr 
account, visit here
That site says the image is taken looking towards the town centre.
I disagree; I think it's taken looking away from the town centre, and towards Plungington Road.

SUSPECTED INFANTICIDE AT PRESTON

A few days ago, Mrs. Margaret Robinson, keeper

of the Southgate Tavern, Preston, gave birth to a child 

at the house of a friend, and when a medical man was

called in the child was dead, and he thought the skull

was fractured. 

This being  rumoured abroad, the Coroner ordered an

exhumation of the body, as it had been buried at the cemetery,

but Mr. Marshall, M.D., on examining it, said that the

child had never breathed, and at an inquest held on

Wednesday last, the jury returned a verdict of "Stillborn."

OBTAINING GOODS UNDER FALSE PRETENCES.
A man named John Harrison, was committed to the
House of Correction, for trial at the Sessions, on the
charge of having obtained a quantity of deal boards,
from Mr. Gillibrand, builder. The prisoner stated that
he was ordered to procure the timber by and for,
Mrs. Riley, of New Street. Having, by this representaion,
obtained possession of it, he immediately disposed of it
at a reduced price. The prisoner had nothing to say in
his defence.

At his own stable, at the White Bull Inn, 
New Street, Preston, that well-known and
justly celebrated Grey Horse, LORD SALTOON
- Lord Saltoon is very handsome, speedy, and 
powerful, and his equal for endurance is yet 
unknown.
The proprietor recommends all breeders of first
rate cattle to look to stock instead of pedigree.

The horse is stinted to 20 mares.

William Atkinson has also one of the best bred
BOARS in the U.K., which he designates the 
YORKSHIRE WONDER.
W.A. has stinted him to a certain number.
The stock surpasses all in the country for
symmetry, but more particularly for size and
weight.

New Street.
