BOLD DRAGOON, 3 Carlisle Street

BOLD DRAGOON  #
3 Carlisle Street / 20 Park Road
*
Synonymous with the Guild Tavern

It would appear that in 1838 it opened as the BOLD DRAGOON, and then between 1861 and 1871 the name was changed to the Guild Tavern. My guess is that it was in 1862, at the time of 
 the Preston Guild.

TO BE LET
And may be entered upon on the 1st November next.

THE BEERHOUSE with PROVISION SHOP adjoining, situate in
Park Road, corner of Carlisle Street, known by the sign of the
 "BOLD DRAGOON."

The stock to be taken at a valuation. The present tenant is
retiring from business, having occupied the premises in the 
beer trade for twenty-four years.

The above sounds as though it could have been Richard Page, the 
earliest landlord I have a record of. Perhaps he had a manager on
the premises - see MINE HOSTS.
