old pubs

[cassie18]

There isn't an Old pubs guide as such now as I've mentioned before unless your interest lies in London.  I've looked in various places for any mention of The Ship Inn Brotherton. There are 5 publicans from the census but would anyone have any idea how i might find the others in the 1890s

Rate books?

I could certainly try. They are an avenue I've not so far explored. Thank You.

What about Trade Directories for that area?

Just have a look on the Genuki website (I haven't checked) -- but Yorkshire on Genuki is quite useful in that some places show trade directories.

Thanks Pennines, I will certainly try that idea as well.

Just another thought - - not sure exactly where Brotherton is -- but there are West Yorkshire Alehouse Licences records on Ancestry -- you can find them via the Card Catalague. Having looked though they don't seem to cover Brotherton.

The local archives should have alehouse licenses though, but whether these are by the name of the applicant or simply in batches of licence applications - i@m afraid I don't know.

Might be worth checking with them -- it's finding the right Archives though -- York? Northallerton? Genuki may tell you if you look at Brotherton information.

There are at least 2 sites you could use:

Hi     

If I am from West Lothian, am I going to waste my time looking for Brotherton, for you?     
Quite happy to tour all the pubs in the region         
You've put the post in "Common Room",should you have posted in . . . . . Yorkshire?     
As implied by other replies?"     
Other countries " ?     


The (originally) London-based database at Pubshistory.com is a relatively recent website, funded by a private person,     
( who is a member of this international website Rootschat.com )   
and assisted by a number of itinerant volunteers     
( the adjective itinerant is aimed at me )       


This IS meant to be a light-hearted response to your original post.
