Extract from Western Mail - 28 April 1879

BUSINESSES FOR DISPOSAL
CARDIFF - To Let - The East Dock Hotel; full licensed house; free;

purp72, sorry to bother you but I am hoping you might be able to explain what is meant by "free" and " full licensed house" in regard to the East Dock Hotel.
If/when it is convenient to you, I would be happy to hear from you.

Cheers,

phipps

I think that full licensed house simply means that the hotel is licensed to sell alcohol. "Free" means that it is a free house - ie. it is not tied to a particular brewery and can buy its beer/wines/spirits from any supplier.

Hi,

I have a copy of the page from the 1863 Wakeford's Cardiff Driectory - and this lists William Millward as the proprietor of the British Volunteer Inn, Hayes.

Thanks,

Darin.

In the 1865 Webster and Co Directory of Bristol and Cardiff, William Millward is proprietor of the East dock Hotel, 59 Tyndall Street.

Thanks,

Darin.

He is still there in 1868 (spelt Milward).

Thanks,

Darin.
