Coach and Horses - Handbridge
« on: Saturday 03 June 06 08:55 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have any information about the C&H pub that used to be in Handbridge somewhere. It was run for a time by my Great Grandfather, John Patten who took up the licence in about 1911 after retiring (the 1901 has him as a Steam Boat Captain living in Saltney).
It was here in 1915 my Nan first met my Grandad, the serving in the Duke of Westminsters Yeomanry 'B' Sqd. I think, stationed at Eaton Hall.
From my Nan's Journal I believe the pub no longer exists, but was supposed to be located in an area known as Flint Mountain?Huh??


Hope someone can throw a bit of light!

Hi Aussie Doug
I am trawling around the board trying to find a member,cant remember his name Huh I just came across your post about the pub and by coincidence i am copying all the pages of Pubs from the various Cheshire Directories ( pubs are not  in all of them for some reason).Also from The Liverpool ones.because they wont be on the net forever,  And questions like yours are always popping up so i am hoping these When finished will be of use to other members. I Only finished and printed out of the first Cheshire one Yesterday 1902.  I also Have the 1894 for L,Pool  all 11 pages Grin
