Brentford Pub Licence Transfers 1846-1904 and 1942, 1943

Vic Rosewarne has provided all of the following data, which has been sorted by pub / beerhouse name. This is not a complete list of all licence transfers but coverage for the period 1846 to the early 1890s is near complete.

If you can add to the list please get in touch.

Any missing transfers can be spotted easily: for example the Barge Aground licence presumably transferred from Baker to Logsden at some point between 1850 and 1858; but thereafter the various transfers for this pub up to 1887 appear complete. Look out for different surname spellings: perhaps a name misheard or mis-printed, for example John Colesells is later John Colsell; similarly for The Beehive John Coomer of 1866 is recorded as John Comer in 1868. Either (or possibly neither) spelling may be correct.

This list has the bare minimum of information, enough to see the surnames of those involved and sequence of changes over time. Addresses have been removed excepting, for the Red Lion, OB and NB to distinguish the two pubs of this name in Old and New Brentford. Similarly the two King's Arms, both in Old Brentford, are distinguished by including 'Boston Lane' for the pub near the station.

Where the name of a pub has been recorded slightly differently, the entries have been brought together, for example 'Black Boys' and 'Two Black Boys' appear under 'Two...', also references to 'Pigeons' have been added to those for 'Three Pigeons'.

See the more comprehensive list, which is in date order and includes more address notes, circumstances surrounding the transfer (often the death of the landlord), the newspaper title and date where the transfer was reported.
