Name: Beef Steak Inn
Address: 25 Higher Walton Road, Walton-le-Dale

| 1891 OS Map |
The Beef Steak Inn had a short-lived existence as a beerhouse appearing between 1861 and 1901 on census records. Census records originally record its location as being New Road (or Walton New Road), but by1901 it is listed as 25 Higher Walton Road after the road was renamed. The beerhouse was close to the junction with Church Brow and the Corn Mill, so would probably have been in one of the terraced houses along this stretch of the road slightly closer to the village centre than the Victoria Hotel, which opened in the early 1900s.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE
WALTON-LE-DALE PETTY SESSIONS
These sessions were held yesterday, at the police court, Walton village, before E. Rodgett, Esq.
A beerseller was heavily fined, Thomas Parkinson, landlord of the Grove Inn beerhouse, New Road.
Published: Saturday 13 July 1867
Newspaper: Preston Chronicle
Following the above publicity of the court case it is my suspicion that the owners decided to give the beerhouse a new lease of life, renaming it, the Beef Steak Inn.

Henry Snape was brought up in Walton-le-Dale, his father Matthew working in the cotton mills, but by the age of 23 he had married and was living on Blue Bell Yard in Preston managing the 'Coffee Tavern'. Whether or not this was a licensed premises remains unclear, as 10 years later they'd moved to Brook Street and he was working as a grocer, but he certainly had an interest in the licensed trade, and by 1911 he was landlord at the Market Hotel on Tithebarn Street.
