7 Beach Street and Great Street

Seven Star Street

Very likely on the corner or perhaps having entrances from two streets. I believe one street was a continuation of the other so perhaps even rebuilt at some time. In 1851, the address was Seven Star Street and the dust from the new railway must have settled by then.

It came into possession of the town in 1914 when the licence was allowed to lapse. That meant that six pubs vanished that year.

Information was withheld from the electorate whilst those negotiations proceeded so the comprehensive figure of £5,690 released later, but representing the whole, tells us little. Concerning this particular sale, a further figure of £60.10s. compensation was agreed but was then altered to £100.

At the closure, Ann Landry.
