      Dr Caitlin Green Retweeted Survey of Lincoln

      A new booklet entitled 'Pubs in Lincoln: A History' was launched today—a fascinating topic! :) Fwiw, I wrote a bit about the pubs & inns of Louth, Lincolnshire, a few years back in a street-by-street history of the town: http://www.caitlingreen.org/p/the-streets-of.html … >https://twitter.com/SurvLinc/status/931482609808527360 …

      Dr Caitlin Green added,

      Survey of Lincoln @SurvLinc
      Tomorrow is launch day of the new booklet. Tea/coffee (sorry, no beer!) and speakers. If you can't attend (and get a discount- £6.50 rather than £7.50), it will be in stock @Waterstones, @SocLincsHist at Jews Ct, and @LindumBooks, Bailgate, Lincoln from late pm. @Lincoln_CAMRA pic.twitter.com/lTw5D5ceHQ

      > For Louth, an interesting debate is 'which is the oldest pub?' Very much depends on what you mean! The 17thC White Swan on Eastgate, first mentioned 1612, lays claim to the title & is definitely the pub that has existed longest in Louth in its current premises... >pic.twitter.com/WTFFEDpJav

      > However, if we mean the site of the oldest possible inn yet identified in Louth, then the Greyhound Inn on Upgate has a claim—archaeological evidence suggests possibly site of a 12th-14thC inn, although there is a break in occupation after that until the 18thC... >pic.twitter.com/HAEtNuY1KR

      > Alternatively, if we mean the oldest continuously operating pub or inn in the Louth, irrespective of the age of its current premises, then the answer is the Turk's Head, formerly the Saracen's Head, first mentioned 1459.

      > The Saracen's Head originally ran all the way up Aswell Street to the horse steps but was split into two by the late 18thC, it seems, with the southern half becoming the Blackmoor’s Head, later renamed the White Hart/Foresters’ Arms (subsequently Mr Chips)...

      > One of Victorian Louth's least salubrious pubs was located in the southernmost part of the property of the medieval Saracen's Head, next to the horse-steps down to the Aswell Pool (now the Raj Mohal)—officially the Lord Nelson, it was better known as the Rag & Louse…pic.twitter.com/vVPkgRNqXg

      > The Rag & Louse was a large establishment—in 1851, 23 staying there incl a beggar, & local newspapers referred to it as both a beerhouse & a 'tramp lodging-house'. Regular spot in the crime sections until lost its license in 1869 >

      e.g. in 1848 six young men sentenced to 2 months hard labour for rolling a lighted tar barrel down the horse steps of Aswell Hole at 10pm (the Rag & Louse was on the right of the pic).pic.twitter.com/zKkzTRfLvx

      > A very disturbing incident took place in Nov 1865, when a brawl between Martin Monaghan & John Gibbons started at the Rag & Louse and ended with Gibbon having his lower lip bitten off. Oddly, Monaghan was only fined 30s for this permanent disfigurement…

      30/- would be a serious fine- several months wages?

          Less than I thought. But almost three weeks agricultural wages https://historyofwages.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/agricultural-labourers-wages-1850-1914.html … which might be about £900 today if they're on minimum wage https://www.gov.uk/agricultural-workers-rights/changes … So possibly not so small by comparisonhttp://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/thug-fined-1200-biting-chunk-10889071 …

          Yes, true—and both were labourers. Still, seems not so much for that injury, and no jail time (which they scattered like confetti when it came to petty theft and begging!)
