No bodies questioning that, I know you look at loads of stuff in the library, I also found the Pineapple in Elephant St, the Colliers at 31 Birtwistle St.
The Colliers at 34 Bank St, and the Colliers at Bedlam, so pubs and ale houses did change their names in those days, especially if the landlord lost his licience, and some one else took over.
It's just that some people seem to think all my research should be handed over to them.
I do it because I want too. Just as you do, curiosity.
Some are too bone idle to do their own research, and think every thing should be made available just for them. They get up my nose, especially when they start to question things, just because I won't make it available to them.
Rant over.
