Pt 1. 1759 to 1825 LICENSING OF ALEHOUSES in the 1800's - In 1808 licensing certificates were introduced. Penalties were enforced for selling without a certificate and for drinking and drinking places have been regulated for a very long time, but the modern system of licensing dates back to 1552, when concerns over public order led to magistrates being given the power to license alehouses. Generally speaking, they acted to control the number and conduct of drinking places in the interests of the community – and for the most part that was restrictive by certificate From the middle of the 19th century restrictions were placed on the opening hours of licensed premises. The Wine and Beerhouse Act 1869 reintroduced the stricter controls of the previous century. The sale of beers, wines or spirits required a licence for the premises from the local magistrates. Further provisions regulated gaming, drunkenness, prostitution and undesirable conduct on licensed premises, enforceable by prosecution or more effectively by the landlord under threat of forfeiting his licence. Licences were only granted, transferred or renewed at special Licensing Sessions courts, and were limited to respectable individuals. Often these were ex-servicemen or ex-policemen; retiring to run a pub was popular amongst military officers at the end of their service. Licence conditions varied widely, according to local practice. They would specify permitted hours, which might require Sunday closing, or conversely permit all-night opening near a market. Typically they might require opening throughout the permitted hours, and the provision of food or lavatories. Once obtained, licences were jealously protected by the licensees (always individuals were expected to be generally present, not a remote owner or company), and even "Occasional Licences" to serve drinks at temporary premises such as fêtes would usually be granted only to existing licensees. Objections might be made by the police, rival landlords or anyone else on the grounds of infractions such as serving drunks, disorderly or dirty premises, or ignoring permitted hours. 1759 to 1768 Boars Head Town Hill Nancy Dutton The Crow Inn Bridge Street Jasper Houghton Red Lion Winwick Street Jacob Rule The Pear Tree Inn Church Street Enoch Millington Legs ‘O’ Man School Brow William Howard The Hare & Hounds Town hill William Hesketh The Old Blue Back Heathside Jacob Ellerwell 1794 Bell. - Anne Anderton General Wolfe. - Peter Atherton Coopers Arms. - M.

RingoDave Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Interesting that, at some time, the odd/even numbering of Church Street has changed sides. I wonder why that happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
