Hertfordshire Genealogy: Occupations: St Albans Inns and Public Houses

In researching Bernards Heath much of the information about the working classes comes from court reports in the Herts Advertiser, and many of the cases mention public houses by name. To help locate the public houses a list of those mentioned by name has been created from the following directories:

It should be noted that only named inns, public houses and hotels in the City of St Albans are included and qualification words such as Inn, P.H., or hotel have normally been omitted. Earlier listings are less detailed than later ones and many establishments listed only in 1882 have been identified in the more detailed St Albans Almanack as entries for beer retailers, etc., with no establishment name have been ignored.
