Based on the baptisms of his children he would have left there around 1848. *<br> He ran a beerhouse in Hog Lane, called the Shoemakers Arms. I have the insurance document he took out to insure the contents (but not the stock) in 1865 and a 'beer book of his purchases from Truman Hanbury and Buxton, along with a couple of newspaper articles i found. *<br> The Truman Hanbury and Buxton book I have of his purchases and cash payments runs from 1863 to 1868.<br> <br> Kentish Independent. 28 May 1864<br> The Highway committee recommended that the name of Hare street be applied to the whole of the thoroughfare, now called Hare street and Richard street;<br> that the name of Hog lane be changed to Nile street. A name of Thames street was suggested as it appeared like naming the street after a public house, and the name of Nile street was preferable.<br> <br> Kentish Independent. 17 November 1866<br> Selling Beer at unlawful hours. - Jeremiah Hurley, of the Shoemakers Arms beer house, Nile street, Woolwich, was summoned for selling beer after 11 o'clock at night, A woman was seen by the police leaving the house one night at half past 11, and the defendant said it was a nurse, who had been attending to some member of his family, nd was going hone with her supper beer - Ordered to pay 2 shillins costs.<br> <br> One of his Jeremiah Hurley's sons (Patrick Hurley) goes on to manage a pub or two in the Woolwich area in the 1890s but that is another story! *<br> <br> <br> <br> * Provided by Charlie Butler </P> <hr /> <p>Trying to avoid privacy and cookie settings overwriting content</p> <br/> <p><script async src='https://cse.google.com/cse.js?cx=partner-pub-9441675526330198:8517910811'></script> <div class="gcse-searchbox-only"></div></p> <br/> <br/> <hr /> </div> <div class="col-sm-2" <ol> <li><a href="https://uktown.co.uk/index.shtml">UK Towns and Cities</a></li> <li><a href="https://londonwiki.co.uk/index.shtml">London history</a></li> <li><a href="https://pubwiki.co.uk/index.shtml">UK Pub history</a></li> <li><a href="https://flowerborder.co.uk/">Flower borders</a></li> </ol> <div> </div> <footer> <h5>© 2024 Londonwiki.co.uk.
