The Lamp Inn or inn being in Longton Stoke-on-Trent.

[steve66]

Can anybody confirm the existence of the Lamp pub or inn being in Longton Stoke-on-Trent.
  The sketchy Info that I have is from around  circa 1920-1930. If anyone can direct me to any websites that will give me the location and street it would be most useful

Thanks

It is no wonder you have been having difficulty finding it. There was never a pub in Longton called The Lamp. However, there was one that went under the name of The Red Lamp. It's proper name was The Duke of Wellington and it was located at 9 Bagnall Street (now Chelson Street). The building still exists. I presume your relative was the licensee of the premises in which case I might be able to help. I have records of all the Longton licensees going back to 1885. And then every ten years form the census returns back to 1841. It is mentioned in my book, The Lost Liquor Licenses of Longton that is still available.

Hi Alan My ancestor was Elizabeth Rose listed as licensee in 1891 census. Have you got any info? She married twice and lost her first (Yates) husband in 1882 and married John William Rose later that same year. He then died in 1890. Sounds like a tough life for Elizabeth with the long list of kids.  David

Elizabeth Rose took over the licence of the Duke of Wellington at 9 Bagnall Street, Longton  on the 30th June 1890 until the 29th June 1891. The pub was known locally as The Red Lamp. The premises closed on the 27th December 1952 but the building still stands. I have a photograph but cannot seem to find how to attach it to this message.
