Many years ago I visited the local studies library in Southwark in search of
my great great grandfather’s connections here as family hand down suggested
he ran a pub in 1824 in a street close to where Dickens as a 12 year old
lodged (Lant Street) at the same time. **
The quarter sessions records for the Licensed Victuallers Recognizances (ref
QS 5/10/4&5) for 1823/4 showed following which I recorded; Wheatsheaf Public
House, Lombard Street, St George -
14 Oct 1823 Stephen Sommers. Recognizance by John Kelly of Lombard Street,
victualler. (Kelly is shown in same year as Licensee of the Old George,
Southwark, and Stephen Sommers did the recognizance for Kelly).
19 Oct 1824 - again Stephen Sommers with recognizance by Joseph Barton,
broker of Mint Street, St George. **
The following year my ancestor is no longer licensee (he died in 1829 in
Paddington) and after 1827 the pub seems to have disappeared as a licensed
establishment. Indeed Lombard Street no longer exists so perhaps the Street
was demolished around that time.
As an aside, Stephen’s son, my great grandfather and another Stephen, ran
the Bush Tap pub in South
Street, Farnham, Surrey, in the 1870’s. You have this recorded. Later he ran
the Station Hotel in Liss,
Hampshire in the early 1880’s. **
