Hi Steven The only information I have at present is: "The Bolton Arms had George Thumbwood as its landlord in 1871 and he was still there in 1890. By 1920 Mark Bennett was in residence and Daniel Hussey stayed until the public house closed. He was a keen gardener winning prizes at the flower show and an advertisement described the Bolton Arms as being noted for its gardens. The house is now number 46 Swan Street." I will try and find out more information if it is available, there may be records of the licensing hearings at Hampshire Record Office one never knows. Regards Peter Goff Kingsclere, Hampshire, UK www.kingsclere.org.uk All outgoing e-mails are scanned for viruses before despatch. There are no attachments to this message
Kelly's Directory 1931 lists the landlord as Mark Bennett. Kelly's 1889 does not list the Bolton Arms, but lists George Thumwood as a Beer Retailer in Kingsclere. Kelly's Directories continued until 1939. Quarter Sessions records at Hampshire Record Office include records of licensing of public houses.
