The licensee in 1937 appears to have been Tom Swarbrick
ReplyDeleteSUPPLIED DRINKS OUT OF HOURS
Preston Licensee Fined
A visit by four police officers to the Greenbank Tavern, Victoria-street, Preston, was described at Preston Borough Police Court, to-day, when the licensee, Tom Swarbrick [36], was fined £5 for supplying intoxicating liquor in non-permitted hours. He was also ordered to pay an advocate’s fee of two guineas. William Glover [54], horse driver of Whittingham-street; Joseph Noblett [54] heating engineer, of 1, Poulton-street; and Frank Noblett [30] upholsterer, of Murray-street, all of Preston, were each fined 20s for consuming intoxicating liquor in non-permitted hours.
Mr R. Robinson, prosecuting, said that 11 3 pm, on January 29th, Detective Sergt. Baines, with three other officers, visited the Greenbank Tavern. They gained admission through a side door in the back yard. On entering a room at the back they saw the three defendants, Glover and the two Nobletts. Each had a pint glass of beer which appeared to have been freshly drawn. D.S. Baines then went into the kitchen, where he saw the licensee, his wife and another man, presumably a lodger, having supper.
DARTS DISCUSSION
The licensee told the officer that he had served the men a quarter of an hour before. He said they were regular customers and paid for their drinks before ten o’clock.
Mr Fazackerley said two of the defendants were experts at darts and they had gone to the Tavern to talk over the formation of a darts league in Preston. The licensee though he could invite them to stay as friend.
Sorry - forgot to add that the above was from the Lancashire Daily Post Wednesday February 17th 1937
ReplyDeleteAt the time of the 1851 census John Machell (spelled Mitchale in the census), aged 66, was at the Green Bank Tavern with his wife Dorothy. They had previously held the New Quay Inn and before that the Bowling Green Inn. Three of their infant children are buried in St Wilfrid's Cemetery.
ReplyDeleteThanks Glenn. That's filled another Census gap. Now I know why!
