Actually, according to the Wigan Observer and District Advertiser, dated 15th February 1867, the first landlord you name was indeed at a beerhouse in Hollinshead Street, but it was called "The Star". The description of "The Star" certainly sounds like the Hollinshead (two former dwelling houses and quite large) - perhaps it was known as that name prior to the Hollinshead
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like it probably was The Star initially. There is no premises name on the 1861 census and no other beer sellers on the street so one can only assume, as I did, that this was the same premises. Thanks very much for the additional information.
