My wife’s 4 x great grandfather, James Wheat 1820-1882 was listed as beer house keeper in the 1871 census living at Steam Boat Tavern, Humber Street, St Mary’s, Hull, East Riding. Does anyone know if a picture exists of the Tavern and any information about the tavern gratefully received?

Thanks very much Shaun

This is the building now.
My GG Grandfather was proprietor in 1881.
It was never demolished in the end (as per the article above)

Not the history of the Tavern itself, however there a few articles that mention Thomas LUNN of 10 Humber St had in his possession a document supposedly dating to 1592 describing the warrant for and execution of a Stephen WILLISON who stole one shilling and threepence.
eg: Friday, May 12, 1865
Publication: Hull Packet
I note also that Thomas LUNN (born c1812, master mariner) is at 10 Humber St in 1861 with his wife Elizabeth and children. The census does not indicate that the residence is a public house at this time.

This is really interesting thank you, it seems my ancestor (George Shaw) was only at the tavern for a short time.
-
I was surprised how often the licence changed hands. :)
-
The 1870 transfer Lunn to Wheat refers to the Museum Tavern, Humber Street.
Perhaps an earlier name of the establishment?
-
Ironically the last venue there before the refurbishment of Humber Street and the Fruit Market area was The Museum of Club Culture.
There are lots of other pictures of Humber Street, of which No 10 appears on numerous here:

Just noticed it is WHEAT you are after.
An additional poster is after George SHAW
I'll leave information and advert as it might be useful for someone else searching.

Mr A. Rollit for an extension to the East Riding Hotel, beer-house, Cannon-street, on behalf of George Shaw. He said the application was to be allowed to take in an extra adjoining house, and it was not for the purpose of drinking that the extension was proposed, but for domestic purposes. There was no view of extending the dramshop accomodation.
