For anyone wanting to know more about the 'Band of Hope' and the significance
of how it became the name of this beerhouse, there may be a piece of work available
as a result of this Ph.D

Preston Chronicle  5th August 1854
Note:  The name of the beerhouse being offered for sale
is given as "The Bud of Hope". Is this just a typing error?

Blimey! I've just had an email from a reader
suggesting that it should be 'Bud of Hope', and then I
came across the following piece from the Preston Guardian
saying the same thing.

I do have a good defence though. I got the original
information out of a Trade Directory.
