local pub history - Preston lancashire

[Mike Baldock]

One of my ancestors ran a pub in Preston in the 1850-70s.

His address was the cellar 15a Georges Street. His name was variously John Heaves / Eaves / Eves.

I'm trying to find out a bit more about him... anyone know the area? I guess the pub may have been the George?

I know of one pub that was called The George, it was situated on Church Street, Preston.  The building is still there but alas, it is no longer a pub.

hi
can anyone help please

i am trying to find out the name of old pub which was in gorst street no. 29  preston or photos

I'm struggling with this one, the 1917 street directory lists Gorst Street, but there isn't a  No. 29 or 30.  The 'trades list' doesn't have a hotel, tavern, public house or beerhouse for that address.

I have a map that has a least one beerhouse located on Gorst Street, but with no names given, somewhere I do have a list of drinking establishments to go with the map.  If I can't find my list, I will go to the library tomorrow

Regards

thankyou simon

maybe the number 29 came later when the beerhouse was shut down ,

all i know is they lived in a 3 storey house on the corner of gorst street and used it to be a beer house

any maps or pictures would be great
thankyou

I actually live about 200yds from where Gorst Street was.  I know an elderly lady who has always lived in the area, I will ask her.

If you PM me your email address I will send you an aerial view of the area

Kind regards

Simon

From what I can work out, there were three pub/beerhouses in the vacinity of Gorst Street, one at each end and one in the middle, hopefully I should know which is which by tomorrow

This is a strange one, I looked in many Barretts Trade Directories for Preston

In 1907 there wasn't a no.29 or 30 Gorst Street, also there wasn't a beerhouse/pub/tavern or inn for that address

1926 also no no.29 or 30 or drinking establishment

1932 has a no. 29 with a Mr T.J. Tosh, a seaman

1936 has a Mr J Worthington, Furnace Tntr living at no.29, still no no.30

1944 has a Mr E Gannon a storekeeper

1948 has Mrs L Skelhorn

1952 has Mrs L Skelhorn

1960 has Mrs Lily E Skelhorn

I'm sure the 1966 is the same, I forgot to write it down (my daughter was pestering)
