*It isn't known yet when Henry Junior took over from his father. I may have been before 1851.

I dont know if this is still relevant but one of my
Ancestors ran the Tithebarn Tavern on Tithebarn
Street (near Preston Bus Station) Preston, His
name was Henry Thompson.

The family still have a flagon from this public house
Henry was given it on his retirement!
It also calls the public house "The Bricklayers Arms"

Tithebarn-street Tavern, Tithebarn-street, owned by Ann Walmsley, Frenchwood Street, for whom Mr. Blackhurst appeared, and tenanted by Elizabeth Jane Hornby, was next objected to.
Inspector Clayton, describing the house as too small for licensed premises, but clean and in good repair. The rent was £30 a year, and the sales about 6 and a half barrels a week.
By Mr. Blackhurst: The house was well conducted. For its size and neighbourhood it was a "wonderful little house." Asked what he would suggest the tenant should do if deprived of her licence, Clayton replied, "Take another house." "Where?" asked Mr. Blackhurst, and the witness answered amid laughter, "Oh! there are any amount to let at present." The owner was the life tenant of the property, and the rent was all she had to live upon.
