75 Snargate Street

Known once as "Sir Garnet Wolseley" and "Lord Wolseley", it was a beerhouse of Flint and was also served by another entrance from Commercial Quay. It faced the Grand Shaft Barracks and its neighbour was the "Duke of Cambridge". This was the title from 1898.

Moves to close it down began in 1906 but it was 1913 before that happened. That year, eight other licensed premises were all within eighty six yards. The "Mitre" was eleven yards distant and "York House" twenty seven. It was sixty yards to the "Ordnance", sixty six to the "New Commercial Quay Inn", fifty to the "Standard" the same to the "Golden Anchor", eighty three yards to the "Union Hotel" and eighty six to the "Barley Mow".

Of £349.10s. compensation, Flint took £253, the Harbour Board £52.10a. and £44 went to licensee James Broadbridge. Perhaps appertaining to the title, Roberts would have taken over as C-in-C from Wolseley about that time.
