So we have a continuance in the family from 1930 thro' to 1963. See lower down for wedding day photograph. 1968 Frederick Barker. It was in 1968 that the 'Moor Park Inn' brewed the very last of its home-brewed ale. The house was taken over by Matthew Brown & Co * ACCOUNT OF COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS THE MOOR &c. Mr. Livesey said:- ......................with regard to the inn on the Moor, he was sorry that the old Corporation had built it, and should the new body continue to build any more of these nests of crime, he should move that opposite each there should be a Temperance Hotel. The Steward said the necessary buildings required to complete the premises of the Moor Park Inn would cost about £200, including the brewhouse &c. Mr. Livesey thought it might let quite as advantageously in another way than as an inn, as which it was a nuisance. It might, perhaps, be let as a Temperance Hotel. His objections were over-ruled and the motion carried. Preston Chronicle 13th February 1836 * TO BUILDERS, &c Also, TO BE LET, at the same time and place, the erection of a STABLE, BREWHOUSE, and other Conveniences, at the Moor Park Inn. A Plan and Specification may be seen at Mr. P. Parks' office, Cannon Street, Preston. Preston Chronicle March 10th 1836 * FOR SALE BY AUCTION LOT 7.

Mr. Bowling, landlord, said that in May 1837, the prisoner, the prosecutor, and two persons named William Gudgeon and James Plumpton were at his house. Robinson was robbed of 4 sovereigns, and Gudgeon and Plumpton were given into custody for it. They were tried and acquitted - one of them saying that he saw Moore swallow it.

Mr. Tomlinson is desirous of continuing Aqueduct Street which commenced in Fylde Road and across the Oxheys, Greenbank and Moor Hall Estates to Moor Lane, opposite the new road called St. George's Road, which the Corporation have formed from Moor Lane to Deepdale Road opposite Mr. Huddart's nursery. Opposite the Moor Lane outlet of St. George's Road, a piece of enclosed land, a portion of the garden of the Moor Park Inn, and to the south of the house offers an obstacle to the outlet of Aqueduct Street. It had provisionally been agreed that the Corporation will give this piece of land to Mr. Tomlinson inreturn for an equal quantity to the east of the inn. The advantage will be that the outlets of the two roads will then be opposite each other, and provide an unbroken road one and a half miles in extent.

Some time on the same day, the landlord removed 100 sovereigns from the same drawer, wrapped them up, and placed them on the top shelf of the cupboard. It, too, had not been touched. It is believed that the robbery happened about 9pm, when the dog was heard to bark loudly, but it wasn't discovered until about midnight.

James Thompson 43, of 6 Kenmure Place, Preston, and Joseph Barnfather, 46, of 64 Ashmoor Street, Preston, were summoned for consuming. Mr. G. Hodgson, prosecuted, and Mr. J. Lustgarten (instructed by Mr. T. H. Kevill, Chorley), defended, pleaded not guilty. The summons for permitting drunkenness was taken first. Mr. Hodgson said that at 12.15am on Monday November 21st., P.S. Gregson, together with P.C. Robinson and P.C. Smith, heard loud voices inside the hotel. The officers entered the yard of the hotel and through the bar window saw the licensee standing by the bar. There were three other men in the room, Thompson, Barnfather and Fred Wilson, the licensee's brother. Thompson was swaying about and holding onto the counter, and the officers formed the opinion that he was drunk. They saw him and Barnfather drink from glasses of beer in front of them. Later, Wilson got four glasses and poured something into them from what appeared to be a bottle of rum. Thompson seemed to fumble in his pocket and apparently handed something to Wilson. The licensee threw what was given to him into the till, and appeared to put some change in front of Thompson. Then, all four men drank from their glasses. Thompson staggered into the yard and fell. Barnfather tried to assist him, but could not do anything, so P.C. Smith took charge of the man. He was afterwards taken to the Preston Royal Infirmary and treated there. Meanwhile, the sergeant and the other officer knocked on the door, and the licensee opened it. "Ah, you thought you were locked out," he said, thinking it was the two men returning. They took the glasses, and after Wilson had been told he would be reported, he said, "Look over it this time, we are only kids at this job." P.S. Gregson gave evidence to corroborate.
