Drinking in an Old English Town

Brewers Arms, 26 Bond Street

These premises have been known by different names during their history:	FROM	TO	NAME
	1841	?	Beerhouse
	1845	1869	Town Wall Tavern
	1869	1878	Brewers Arms
	1878		Town Wall Tavern
When John Beers passed on the licence to Joseph Salt in 1869 he had changed the name of the pub to the BREWERS ARMS. Just nine years later, however, Alfred Evans appears to have reverted the name, passing the Town Wall Tavern licence on to Joseph Hewins in 1879. The 1871 census and 1874 Whites directory confirm this, showing the Brewers Arms with the same address as the Town Wall Tavern.
