| Board means 'to board intoxicating liquor'. In some cases the need for a premises to have 'a board', that is a sign board, suggested this name as some places did in fact display a blank board. However, in this case, the Board identified a person sellling beer from their home; in other words a beerhouse under the 1839 Beerhouse Act, the real origin of the 'public house'.
In 1866 Edward John Hollins is known to have been brewing on the site.
From 1874 this was the EAGLE VAULTS. | |||
