In 1839 Pigot gives Ann Dye at this house,

VICTORIA
TAVERN
In the 1841 census and on the 1845 the magistrates list she is at the
Tiger,
but the 1845 directory by White has her at the Queen Victoria
Ann Dye of the Tiger was summoned Wednesday 1st November 1843 of running
a disorderly house. On the previous Saturday and Sunday morning some 40
to 50 of the worst characters in the city had been seen in the house at
about a quarter to one o'clock. It was claimed they were behaving in the
most riotous manner and it was the same every Saturday night.
Mrs Dye stated that the house was closed every night at ten o'clock,
except Saturdays when her licence allowed her to keep the house open
until four o'clock the following morning.
Disapproving of the proceedings in the house, the magistrates said they
would impose a fine of £2 with 11s costs, saying that Mrs Dye should
consider herself lucky with their leniency whereas it could have been a
fine £5.
Saying that she could not pay, Mrs Dye was told that, in that case, she
would be detained. She dispatched a messenger to raise the money and
paid the fine.
In 1846 W T Girling is at the TIGER according to the Post Office
directory.
