![]() Board means 'to board intoxicating liquor'. In some instances the need for a premises to have 'a board', that is a sign board, suggested this name, as they did in fact display a blank board. However, generally the board identified a person selling beer from their home; in other words a beer-house under the 1839 Beerhouse Act, the real origin of the 'public house'. | |||
