Address as Guildengate Street in 1842, 1865 & 1869.
At Alms Lane 1845.
90 St Georges Street from 1904.

Stood on the corner of St. Georges Street and Alms Lane.

It was recorded Saturday 7th July 1832, that on the previous Saturday, the inquest into the death of landlord John Callow was held at the house. The previous evening a man named Edwards had taken hold of him by the cravat given him a violent shaking. The dispute was about beer drunk, but not paid for. Mr. Callow went straight to bed and died about an hour later. It was heard that he had previously been ill with palpitation of the heart. The jury found accordingly.

Described 17th March 1888 as the property of Charles Crawshay.

On Thursday 9th February 1905 the Chief Constable objected to licence renewal owing to the back doors opening into enclosed yards common to other tenements.
However the objection was withdrawn since alterations had already been made to alleviate the problem. The licence was granted.

Destroyed by enemy action April 1942.
The customs officer confirmed 01.10.1942 that the house not reopened.
The name was only ``recently and finally removed from the Licensing Register'' according to a report dated 23.11.1966.

 

House No. 387 on 1845 Magistrates list.
