Northampton Pubs (2) - Alehouse Recognisance / Victuallers Licenses

[rthom]

This is a supplementary topic from my other thread on "Northampton pubs - The Boot Inn."

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,194975.0.html

I have obtained the Alehouse Recognisance records for the inns my Hemmings family ran in Towcester (The Admiral Nelson, 1826-36), Greens Norton (The Red Lion, 1816-26), and Sulgrave (The Six Bells, 1788-1807).  However, I have not yet located the same records for The Boot Inn (1836-64) in Northampton.  I was informed some time back that there were no such AR or victuallers license records for Northampton.  Would any of you experts out there please confirm whether or not this is true.  If there was no AR system as such, was there any other form of licencing at this time?

Hi Sam:

Thanks for wading in after all this time.  I am interested in the existence, or not, of licencing records for period 1830 to 1870 for The Boot Inn on College Street.  This is the period that my family ran the establishment, as has been discussed in the related thread:

Thank you, Sam.  That would be very much appreciated.  Please don't go out of your way though.
