LORD EXMOUTH PUB, LIVERPOOL

[jan w]

Hi, Does anyone know if it's possible to find out who was leasing the Lord Exmouth pub in Liverpool in the first decades of the 19th C?

I can't find any record of a pub of that name in Liverpool. There was one across the water in Birkenhead from around 1870.

There was a Lord Exmouth post coach that ran daily from Liverpool to Newcastle from around April 1823. And of course there was a ship of that name.

We could look it up on a census if we had the correct name - where did the information come from that Lord Exmouth was the name Jan?

 Hi there,
Thank you both for your replies. The reference to the Lord Exmouth was in Gores Liverpool General Advertiser dated 1826, in the context of an insolvency case relating to Richard Whitford. The pub was in Salthouse Dock, and could have been owned by Ann Jones. So, it's too early for census I'm afraid. I'm sure the pub is long gone, I just thought there might be some records of publicans.
thanks again,
Jan

The 1825 Gore's directory lists Ann Jones ( Whitford's sister per the news report) as a victualler at 26 east side, Salthouse Dock. By 1827 Thomas Maguire is the licensee at that address.

"East Side Salthouse Dock" is the name of the road running parallel to the dock see the map at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/334331/389837/13/100870 unfortunately without a subscription it is not possible to zoom in enough to see the names of the pubs.

Thank you - exactly the information I needed!

Baines directory of 1824 records that the name of the pub was then the Runcorn & Northwich Tavern, (John Adams, 26, East Side,Salthouse dock).

The name change is interesting - I wonder why.
