Loose Ends
In the six months we have spent concentrating on this project we have realised that we know less and less about more and more. We have started down some fascinating trails which will need more time to research thoroughly. More hands means light work. So anyone, who has experience, or wants to have a go at working in record offices and wants to volunteer to share our task, will be welcomed to help us.
We have found some evidence or a tradition for six more pubs, two in each of the three main periods in which we have been working:
If you know anything about these houses, or have evidence of their being public houses please phone one of the numbers on this board, or write it in the Notes and Queries‘ book below.
We have also found Innkeepers, Licensed Victuallers and Beerhouse Keepers who we have been unable to fit into public houses, either existing or closed down. We do not of course yet know all the licensees of all the inns and pubs for every year since 1630, but we now have a pretty full cast list for the role of "mine host". In some cases, infuriatingly, we have excellent inventories for Innkeepers who we have not yet fitted into premises for which we know "the sign before the house."
