PUBS ASSOCIATED WITH
THE DURHAM FAMILY [1] PUBS - IN ALPHABETICAL
ORDER OF PLACE [2] PEOPLE - HOW THEY MOVED
AROUND |
|||||||||||||
IT
IS NOT CLEAR WHETHER THEY OWNED THE PUBS, OR WERE JUST MANAGERS/TENANTS, BUT
JUDGING BY HOW THEY MOVED AROUND, THE LATTER SEEMS MORE LIKELY, ALTHOUGH
SOMEONE, EG. JACOB DURHAM I, MAY ALSO HAVE OWNED SOME – WE DON’T
KNOW WHAT THE TERM “PROPRIETOR OF HOUSES” MEANS EXACTLY |
|||||||||||||
SOME
FACTS: · Most pubs were tied and owned by a brewery. They paid for
refurbishment. This does not mean that the Durhams
were tenants. The fact that the family seem to have run several, could
indicate ownership of the premises Under
the Wellington Beer Act 1830, any "upstanding ratepayer" could get
a licence in perpetuity, unless he was guilty of running a disorderly
house. This led to the proliferation
of small pubs. This indicates that they were reasonably rich as they must
have paid rates · Jacob Durham I had land dealings in Lee, Kent in 1832
and 1852, and Charles Jacob Durham in 1867, together with his brother-in-law,
William Steward · The four 2nd and 3rd generation pub keepers –
Alexander William James, Charles Jacob, William Jacob Smith, Charles John I
- died on average at less than 48 years old – is this significant? · Charles Jacob’s youngest surviving son, Frederick Evan, had a son Edgar
Sydney, who owned an off-licence, the Capel Arms,
16 Barwick Road, Forest Gate, Essex – he was in the
telephone directory at that address 1936-52, but this is probably an isolated
case, not connected with the main Durham pub business · John Stanley Durham’s eldest daughter, born 1920 (so William Jacob
Smith Durham’s great-granddaughter), told the author in FEB 2013 that, as a
child, let's say about 1930, she was taken to a pub in Lewisham? to see her
grandfather (Charles William Durham II)'s, first she said brother, but it
couldn't have been, so we settled for, "relations" – author’s
comment: the area, Lewisham, is right, but as far as I can calculate, the
Durham pub business was long since finished - as far as I can see, the last
Durham in the business, Charles John Durham I,
died in 1895, and doesn't seem to have had any children – therefore it may be
that some of the generation after William Jacob Smith Durham / Charles John
Durham I ran a pub(s), possibly independently of the original former Durham pub
business |

pub 1891-1908, should have a brick remembering him, whilst Charles John Durham, there
1871-1882, didn't – the author seems to remember hearing that the brick bore
“the name of the first licensee” - could it be that the pub was rebuilt at

Charles
Jacob doesn’t seem to have left a will – perhaps he died unexpectedly, as he
was only 55 – and Letters
of Administration were granted to the firm of John & William
Nicholson, Distillers, so perhaps he died in debt: there is a court case in 1871,
brought by John Edward Meek, a copartner in John & William Nicholson, and there is a
notice from the
latter’s solicitors, dated March 1871, addressed to any of Charles Jacob’s
creditors |
|||||||||||||
The
following has been found online: Nicholson’s pubs have a rich historical
past, stretching back to an 18th century family of Clerkenwell
gin distillers. Two descendants of that family, John and William Nicholson,
decided to found ‘their own houses’ offering impeccable hospitality,
excellent food and the finest drinks. Over two hundred years later, each of
the Nicholson’s pubs still has its own fascinating story and each provides
the same exceptional standards of service and fare. Today Nicholsons
are a brand of the Mitchells & Butlers pub
chain |
