Hi Bee

Thanks very much for the photo and history.  I am originally from Hull and remember often walking
down Clarence street and over Drypool Bridge, so must have past the location dozens of times in my
life, totally unaware that the pub where my gg grandfather worked was there.
Great photo and very interesting information.
Really appreciate all your help.
regards
Dave

Hi
I checked the 1861 Census and it shows his address indeed with the same street
namely Great Union Street and as you show W.Thorley is the proprietor.

So that confirms now that Great Union street is infact the correct address for the
Commercial Tavern.   
Wonder if that is shown as a photo too.

Hi
Just to a closer look at the innkeeper's licence and
it shows the name as Commercial Tavern, so it must
be the one in Mytongate.
My gg-grandfather took it over in 1852 and in the
1861 he was down as a victualler too, although it
doesn't say where for that year.

Maybe there is a photo of the Mytongate - Commercial Tavern too.

That is very interesting to see that there were infact two pubs of the same name.
Only fact I have on the address is really that it was in Garrison Side, which I presume
was near to the river.
I will see if there are any other records in the family which pins it down any more.
I seem to remember there being other references to it in the census records.

Thank you very much for the photo.
I unfortunately don't have an address of the pub as it wasn't mentioned, but it castle street is
now and I assume then too in the market place are of the city and covered by Garrison Side.
So I think it must be the correct location.
thanks
Dave

Further to the photo I just posted.
In small writing (difficult to read on photo) it mentions that the tavern was
located in Garrison Side.
Maybe that is of interest.

Whilst looking through some old family papers I found a copy of an Innkeeper's Licence for The Commercial Tavern for 1852.
My Great Grandfather ran the tavern for a number of years.
I would be pleased to send a copy to anyone if it is of any interest and the attached doesn't show well.

kind regards
Dave
