The Raven - 1985
1985


William Daynes made an application, on Monday 24th August 1891, for a music and singing licence for the St. Giles Musical Union which had held its meeting for the previous two years, in an upstairs room, 17 ft by 13 ft, and to cover the occasional playing of a piano and a song in the downstairs smoking-room. Only men were allowed in either room. Mr. Daynes said he had actually been at the house for two months and was a tenant, but had only taken on the house for three months since he was considering if it would answer his purpose, he did not have an agreement.
Application withdrawn.
