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.

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.

| The word 'ship' instead of 'slip' is a newspaper error. |

A renewal of the licence for the SLIP INN was
applied for. The house had been closed for two months,
and that its' owners (Threlfall and Co. Wine Merchants,
proposed putting it in the charge of one of their own men,
named Alfred Sergeant, until a suitable tenant could be
got. Sergeant gave evidence of previous experience,
and a licence was granted.
Preston Chronicle 15th September 1866

Preston Chronicle 27th August 1870
*
The licence of the SLIP INN, Turks Head Yard, was
objected to on the grounds that Joseph Redhead, the
landlord, let the adjoining house as a brothel. His
defence said that Redhead had left the Inn, and
therefore the objection had been done away with.
Later in the article it says "the licence of the Slip Inn,
kept by Joseph Redhead, was renewed."
Preston Chronicle 1st September 1877
- possibly it meant that he had left the house that
was being used as a brothel?
PS. Remember, the name of the house was changed in
1874. Perhaps using the previous name to avoid more
bad publicity?

| A description given from memory by a relative of one of the 'Mine Hosts' said - "It wasn't very big; it was of Accrington brick construction with a rather attractive terracotta window surround, and the words "Sitting Goose" also moulded in terracotta. In this photograph, the terracotta tiles appear to have been painted over, doing them a total injustice!" |
