TURF TAVERN, Old Cock Yard

TURF TAVERN
Old Cock Yard.
*
Probably synonymous with the Old Cock Inn.

MINE HOST:
1807 - 1809       Thomas Bradburn
*

  Note the connection with the 'Turf': 'Sworn Judge of the Races'
York Herald  13th June 1807

Lancaster Gazette  24th June 1809

Lancaster Gazette  16th September 1809
*
DEATH:  On Monday 3rd December 1838,
Alice, wife of Mr. Thomas Bradburn, Great Avenham
Street, Aged 66 years.
Preston Chronicle  8th December 1838
There isn't 100% certainty that this refers
to 'our' Thomas Bradburn's wife, but it's a very
uncommon name in Preston.
In the 1841 Census, Thomas Bradburn, 68 years,
is still living in Great Avenham Street, with his son,
Thomas Bradburn, 40 years. Both are described
as 'Independent'.
