local pub history - Preston lancashire

[Duck]

I didn't look back far enough. No.29 was a Beerhouse

The lady that I know has just produced a list of pubs and beerhouses from the 1885 Barratts Directory, which I gave her 20 years ago 

No.29 Gorst Street and 6 Clayton Street was the Queens Palace, it was on the corner of both streets

Queens Palace Inn

I am currently the landlady of the Fox and Grapes on Fox Street, Preston and have been for the last nine years. In that time I have tried to find out about the history of the pub and how long it has been the Fox for and I haven't been able to find out much at all.I can't believe it has taken me this long to find this site but I am glad there are other people interested my little pub. Can anyone tell me where to find the trade directories for the early 1800s or does anyone know anything about the history of the place ?

[Duck]

Hi Sharon, I'll pop in and see you, it shouldn't be to difficult to find out every landlord

You have one of the best pubs in the city for real ale

Simon

PS.  do you have the Market Tavern aswell ?

[sharonf8164]

Hi, no I don't have the Market Tavern that is Tracy she runs a good pub too !! Thanks for your reply I would be really interested to find out as much as possible about the history of the Fox now that I am part of it. Any early photos to add to my collection would be fantastic too - Sharon

Hi Sharon, I called into the pub today but you were out, I'll try and catch you next week

Kind regards

Simon
