Offered For Sale by Auction Wednesday 6th August 1828. Then in thee occupation of ....... Green.

On Thursday 9th February 1905 the Chief Constable objected to licence renewal because of inadequate public accommodation.
The description of the house and location was given as:
An 8 foot by 14 foot room, leased by Youngs, Crawshay & Youngs from the owners, the St. Andrew's Charity. Two other houses within 100 yards, six houses within 150 yards and a total of 11 (licensed) houses within 200 yards.
The house had only changed hands once in 40 years.
(Morgans to Youngs & Co).
It was claimed that there had never been a complaint against the house in 42 years and only two tenants in that time. (So accusation against Mr. Cooper in June 1871 was probably dropped at the time .......or conveniently forgotten. Also from 1863 there were at least five different persons holding the licence, albeit some from the same family.)
Licence renewal granted.

Licence provisionally refused 13.02.1914 and referred to Compensation.
Closed under Compensation 31.12.1914
