The 1868 Trade Directory by White records Thomas Cranmer, beer retailer
at Baxter Row.
On the morning of Sunday 16th August 1868, a police officer entered the
house and asked licensee Thomas Cranmer if any customers had been in.
With an answer to the negative, the officer examined the rooms, but they
were empty. However when he inspected the cellar he discovered
four local men.
On Wednesday 26th August, one of the men confirmed that before the
arrival of the officer, the four had been in the kitchen of the `Live &
Let Live', drinking either beer or porter.
In late 1865, Thomas Cranmer married Maria Wiseman.
By 1869 he is thought to be at the
PRINCE OF WALES, High
Street.
