An old thread revived: I have just been given the Chief Constable's Licensing Report and report of Crime for 1936. I shall be giving it to the library, along with a few Crime reports for later years. At that time it appears that the Licensing and Crimne reports were separate. To read his licensing reports for those years, you will need to look at the Obsevers for each February, when he reported to the Brewster sessions

In March, the Thwaites Arms was closed and its Publican's (full) licence transferred to the Duke of Wellington beerhouse, Abbey St.

There were 106 licensed premises and 26 registed clubs in the borough. The population was 42,991, giving 406 to every licensed house. The club with most members was the Stephenson Memorial Club, Grimshaw st. The Massonic Club , with 516 members was next. The District Club, Blackburhn Rd had donly 38 Most clubs closed on Sundays

There were 47 Publican's (full) licences; 28 beerhouses (on); 21 beerhouses 9off); 10 other off-licences of varying sorts.

There were 164 police visits to licensed premises, resulting in one conviction for selling after time.4 males and 6 females were convicted, along with the landlord.

Between 1930 -36 the number of convictions for drunkennness averaged 26

There were 5 billards licences:- Crown Billard hall; Albion St Billard hall; The Alma Inn; Central Billard Hall, Whalley rd and the Transport Dept Club,

There were 5 cinemas. The King's Hall; The Empire; The Prince's; the Hippodrome; The Palace and the (Ritz) Picture House. The Regal, later Odeon, had not yet opened.
