Adlington - Clayton's Arms

Name: The Clayton's Arms

Address: Market Street, Adlington


The Clayton's Arms was named after the Clayton family who were local wealthy landowners and lived at Adlington Hall.  It has been an integral part of life in Adlington since the late 1700's/early 1800's although the exact date of opening is not known to me.

Over recent years it's remained closed for a significant period until it was eventually sold and redeveloped into business use.
Gore's Liverpool General Advertiser 31 July 1823
Robert Longworth in 1823 is the earliest landlord I can find recorded although the press cutting above would suggest he had been there for a number of years before that.

Standish Directory of 1824
The directory of 1824 shown above records a J(ohn) Houlding was the landlord at that time.  Listed landlords thereafter include James Hampson (1838-41), Richard Tyrer (1851), Thomas Makinson (1861), Thomas Bowden (1870), Thomas Morris (1871), Alice Morris (1881), Elizabeth Walmsley (1891), Thomas Samuels (1901), William Taylor (1911), William Bolton (1921), Robert King (1930) and Robert Winstanley (1934).

In 1851 when Richard Tyrer was behind the bar the road was actually called "Nightingale Road" on the census, stretching from White Bear Bridge down to the Waggon & Horses Inn. It was later referred to as Bear (or Bare) Lane and finally Market Street as it is today.
