Beerkeeper/ Innkeeper Records, Shropshire 1902 - 1913.
« on: Monday 10 November 08 19:46 UTC (UK) »
Hi,

Anyone got any ideas as to whether or not there may be an archive where beerkeepers/innkeepers records may be held.

My Gt Grandparents were the keepers of a pub called the Three Pidgeons in Oswestry, Shropshire from 1902 - 1913 and I wondered if records/photo's of publicans were kept/stored anywhere.

I managed to visit the pub a few years ago but unfortunately the landlord at the time was unable to help much.

I have no photo's of my Gt Grandparents and was hoping there may have been a picture taken during their occupation of the pub.

I'd appreciate any ideas.

Thanks

Barbara.

Hi ,

A relative suggested that I contact the Licensed Victuallers Association to see if they know of a central office which may hold records of Pubs & Landlords from the past.

Does anyone know if this is likely? I feel it's a bit of a long shot but then again, maybe not  ?

Anyone got any ideas on the subject?

Cheers

Hi Barbara

At the time you are talking about, the Licensing of Pubs and Off Licenses was controlled by the Magistrates Courts (Oswestry in this case)

I would be pretty certain that the records would be lodged in the County Record Office for the area.

Hi, s.g.d.

Don't know how but I didn't see your message !!

Thanks for the info, hopefully the fire didn't damage the actual old pub too much.

I don't think I'll ever find any old documents from my Gt Grandad's era but I keep trying.

I suppose I live in hope that there may have been an old photo somewhere of my G Grandad.

just to add

the idea of selling beer from houses etc, was to stop the unruly mob in the streets drinkign whenever they liked, but you had to aply for a licence to sell the beer (like you do nowdays) this licence was issued by the local magistrates and as Tony said the records should be held in the tr sessions at the local RO however they may be at TNA or failing that it was often advertised in the local newspaper.
