WAGGON AND HORSES. Lord Street

WAGGON AND HORSES   #

22 or 27 Lord Street.

*

previously known as

"THE STOCKING"

"THE VOLUNTEER"

and possibly, in the early 1700's

the "SETTING DOG"

*

More recently as  "THE TITHEBARN"

the original Tithebarn Tavern has been dealt with elsewhere.

The neighbouring building that was demolished, has left
this exposed brickwork. See the enlargement of a portion of it, below.

I don't know how much of this is 'original' but the bricks were probably layed
in the early 1700's. There will have been some re-pointing work done, but
I'd be pleased to hear the views of an expert.
This enlargement is taken from the bottom left hand corner of the previous picture.

A RIVAL HECATE

BELLA MYERSCOUGH, of the Waggon and Horses

public house, Lord Street, was charged with a grievous

ourage upon the person of a man named William Cuerden,

a carter, living in High Street.

The complainant, whose face was frightfully disfigured, 

said that on the Tuesday week preceding, he had gone to

the house of the defendant, who, in consequence of a few

words between them, had taken a shovel full of burning

cinders, and thrown them at his head, by which his face 

was dreadfully burned.

The defendant did not deny the charge, but said she had

received gross provocation from Cuerden, he having

taken improper liberties with her.

Under the circumstances, the Magistrates adjudged 

Mrs. Myerscough to pay 12 shillings, the doctor's bill,

and the costs.

MEASLED PORK

James Fazackerley appeared to answer a charge 

preferred against him by Mr. Marriott, Sanitory

Inspector, of having in his possession, and in the

process of being dressed for sale, the carcase of

a measled pig. Marriott said that tat morning he 

found a butcher in the act of dressing a pig at the

Waggon and Horses public-house in Tithebarn

Street, and suspecting that it was not fit for human

food, from a certain appearance about the"sticking

part," he waited till it was opened, when he saw

that the animal was diseased. He did not think that

the defendant knew ir was measled when he bought 

it, as it was difficult to detect that disease in a 

living animal.

The Bench ordered the carcase to be destroyed.
