LEGS OF MAN
Gin Bow Entry
Thought to be synonymous with "The Board" and the "Ram's Head"
MINE HOSTS:
1812 William Worden
1818 Mary Worden
1818 Mary Worden
1821 Peter Worden
1825 - 29 Peter Worden (as 'The Board')
*
The 1818 Dirrectory gave no name for Mary Worden's premises - it
was shown as a dash.
The 1821 record gave the name LEGS OF MAN.
The name for the later records gave the name 'The Board'.
There's nothing certain but I think the two are synonymous with one another.

Stumbled on this while looking for someone else:
ReplyDelete"DEATHS...On Tuesday last, Mr. Thomas Badger, of the Old Legs of Man Inn, in this town, and formerly of the Dog Inn, Longridge, in the 56th year of his age. He had a numerous circle of friends, by whom, and his own family, he is deservedly regretted."

Thanks Glenn, I am aware of this, but I've attributed it to the Old Legs of Man on Fishergate.
DeleteI've found where I've got it from: THOMAS BADGER
Delete(Late of the Old Dog, Longridge)
BEGS leave to acquaint his Friends and the Public
generally, that he has taken and entered upon that
commodious INN, "The Old Legs of Man," opposite
to the Town Hall, Preston, where he hopes by a
strict attention to the comfort of his customers, and
a constant supply of the best entertainment, to merit
a share of support.
NB. Excellent Stabling and Commodious Outbuildings.
