I am looking for any information regarding old public houses in Whitehaven in the 1800's One of my ancestors was a landlord and I would be very interested to explore further. His name was James Jones (born Jamaica) and I beleive he was known locally as Indian King. Is there anybody out there that may be able to point me in the right direction? I a mworking on the assumption that it woulf have been from around 1830. Thanks Lincsbabe

You beat me to it Geoff  I had just scanned that page of pubs, with the map, and was about to post it, when I noticed the bit at the bottom of your post.
That must have been quite a grand pub, Masons is a large building, probably with paying guests as well.
My dad had a few relations who were publicans in the pubs around the harbour. Apparently in those days just about every other house was a pub!!
James was maybe the landlord who introduced the toilet Lincsbabe

I know the Columba club - up for sale at the moment I think. Which was the Beehive at Hensingham? I don't know if I know that one. I can't think where Sandhills Lane is either
My brain is fuddled at the moment, I've had a busy day at work, and could do with 40 winks to revive me.

James Jones also would auction off various items that came in on the ships!
He was a widow and then married Eleanor Blenkinsop daughter of Elizabeth Hinton, and George Blenkinsop.
I have more information on this family if you would like to send me a personal message!!

Mr Gran's brother used to keep the Columba Club on Queen St (to 1964ish). My Gran and her 2nd husband had the Beehive at Hensingham for a few years - they left it in 1953 and moved to Sandhills Lane.
