Argyle Inn

April 30, 2017 by Xenith

1833 Colin McKinnon

Only one reference to this.


The Independent, 21 December 1833

(Note: Argyle Inn, Launceston appears in a advertisement for Solomon’s Longford coach in 1854 but this is supposed to be Angel Inn. It appears as such in the next advertisement.)

I want to find the location of all the old hotels in Launceston, and a picture of them. So maybe ALL is not possible, but as many as possible.

I do this by tracing the changes in sign (name), licensee and location through the annual licensing lists, and anything other information I come across. There’s a lot missing though. Oral and family history can help fill in the gaps, so comments are welcome.

Need helps?

I am available to do research at a reasonable rate. Details here.

Also, if you’d like a photo of a building, I might be able to help there. Details here.
