Francis W. (Frank) Long, on the right.
Many readers may remember the 'Long Bar' on the corner of the Miller Arcade / Lancaster Road.
Well it was Frank's father that was the cause of that name.
NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT.
Thanks are due to Frank's son, Peter, for this photograph.
*
James Smith, Belle Vue Hotel, New Hall Lane, was fined 20 shillings and costs for selling beer during prohibited hours.
Preston Herald 11th August 1866
Personal Comment: I don't know where 'James' has come from. Possibly a reporting error.
In the 1861 Census, Moses was 24 years of age, working as a 'Brewer', and appears to have a twin-brother, David. They were living in James Street, Fishwick.
