ELDER'S BEERHOUSE, Butler's Court

ELDER'S BEERHOUSE   #

7 / 8 Butler's Court
a.k.a. "Bank Hotel Beerhouse" 
see article from 1868, below.

*

This portion of an architect's drawing, shows the beer house on

the eastern side of Butler's Court, note the direction towards

north at the top of the drawing. 

The drawing was specifically for a proposed enlargement of the

Lancaster Bank building (where Natwest is today). It also

involved the moving of the entrance to the Court from Fishergate.

Whether the work was actually carried out is not known,

but it doesn't alter the fact that the beer house was there.

Where the name 'Elder's' came from isn't known.

 Lancaster Gazette   7th August 1858
This article indicates that substantial building work had just been carried out, and it falls within the period that we know
the beer house existed.

SELLING BEER DURING PROHIBITED HOURS
Jonathan Pilkington, keeper of the Bank Hotel Beerhouse,
Butler's Court, was fined 10 shillings and costs for selling
drink during prohibited hours on Friday evening, the 27th ult.
Preston Chronicle   4th April 1868
 I think that this answers why only the beerhouse was shown on the above architect's drawing; I think it possible (probable) that the place was owned, or at least leased, by the bank.

BREWERS' ARMS AND HARRINGTON HOTEL
Mr. Parker appeared for the tenant, and called upon Mr. T. H. Myres, who prepared the plans.
He said the proposed alteration was to take down two walls, one that divided a sort of store place and the bar parlour; and the other was a wall between the kitchen and bar parlour, and make that one room. Also to break out a door from a small scullery into the parlour, and to change the parlour into a scullery. By the alteration they would get a smoke room 29 ft by 6ft.
They should do away with a door in the front and put in a window.
Questioned by the Magistrates Clerk, Warrant Inspector Clayton stated that the proper name of the house was "The Brewers' Arms and Harrington Hotel."
