I traced the history of a pub's licences/ landlords  in Derbyshire via the newspapers.

Certainly in Derbyshire, licences given/taken away/transferred were reported as Brewster Sessions, don't know about elsewhere in the country.

I have struggled to find any reference to either the pubs or family licensed victuallers (publicans) in any paper within the BNL which is now hosted by Find My Past. I have searched both national and local papers. Part of the problem I suspect is the dreadful OCR from old papers and scans, many of which were done when the technology was in its infancy. One day one hopes that they will be redone.
