75 Castle Street and 6 Church Street

Also mentioned as 19 Church Street

An old one this, adopting the standard of inn when the spirit licence was granted in 1842. The bars could be utilised from the two streets and thus two publicans were involved during part of its history .

Customers (yes, and the horse) outside one of the public houses of yesteryear. This was the Burlington Inn - of which there used to be two - in Church Street. Taken about 1900 the picture shows the inn flanked by a number of business premesis including those of Webb the saddler, harness and collar maker.

It was there under that name in the year 1846, having been sold at that time under an order of the Court of Cancery.

In 1872 an interesting proposition was put to the Bench by Mr. Joyce. He suggested that his licence at the "Rose and Shamrock" be transferred here. If not at that particular time, it would seem his wishes were eventually gratified because he shows as the patron in 1874.

This establishment spent much of its life out of bounds to troops. Not for its misdemeanours I hasten to add. The civil and military authorities found the premises difficult to supervise.

It was referred to the Compensation Authority in 1939 which may have meant curtains. I've no knowledge. If it was still present then, its removal could have been early in 1945 when demolition did affect that area.

At the close it would have been the property of George Beer and Rigden.
