Garrick’s Head St.John’s Place

In a building dating from 1720, this picture shows the Garrick’s Head sometime before 1910. The entrance to the New Theatre Royal at the front of the pub dates from 1863, and the bust of David Garrick above the door was placed there in 1831. The rounded building at the left of this photograph is the Peep O’ Day public house, which took its odd name from the last show performed in the old Theatre Royal, which burned down in 1862. Harold Jones’ tenancy of the Garrick’s Head commenced on the 2nd August 1940, the rent was £60 per annum and the landlord was The Bristol Brewery Georges & Co. Limited.

Crystal Palace Abbey Green

Information on this page was kindly provided by Peter Dillon of New Zealand.

I have already posted a message regarding the Castle Inn/Alehouse/Tavern in Bath which was licensed at one stage to Andrew DILLON married to Matilda WHITTICK, and also regarding the New Market Tavern in Bath which was held by Andrew’s in-laws, the WHITTICKs, then Andrew’s son, Andrew William DILLON who was married to Harriet Louisa MCCOOMBE. Andrew DILLON senior was previously a butcher as was his father Henry DILLON

(= Sophia WEST) and uncle Thomas DILLON (= Elizabeth NICHOLAS) , and indeed other DILLON relations in Bath. Thomas DILLON is my ancestor.

Harriet Louisa MCCOOMBE had two brothers who had the Crystal Palace pub at 10 Abbey Green Bath, William MCOOMBE (1= Mary Ann ???) & Charles Sydney MCCOOMBE. Their parents were William MCCOOMBE & Mary Ann DAVIS. After their mother Mary Ann DAVIS died in 1883, their father William in 1887 married again to Winnie Louisa SMITH.

Email received 6 Mar 2003:

“In Tuesday night’s Bath Chronicle in Memories there is a photo of 10 Abbey Green, which is Crystal Palace public house, sent in by Geoffrey BINNS (he wrote the book called ‘Historic Inns and Taverns of Bath’ which I have). Painted on the front of the pub is The Crystal Palace C.S. McCOOMBE, Oakhill Invalid and Double Stout, and a horse and landau parked outside. Mr. BINNS says the picture dates from around 1892 when Charles Sydney McCOOMBE was in residence (1892-1924)”
Charles Sydney MCCOOMBE is not to be confused with his nephew, Sydney Charles MCCOOMBE. Here is Charles Sydney in the following family structure (= marriage) and his much older brother William, by 20 years, who had the Crystal palace pub before Charles Sydney got it.

We can see that William was a Licensed Brewer in 1871 and by 1881 he was a licensed Victualler of 10 Abbey Green, ie the Crystal Palace pub.

Mary Ann died 1883 age 59 ( not to be confused with her daughter-in-law Mary Ann who died 1884 age 40 ) and William married again in 1887 to Winnie Louisa SMITH.

From the 1891 census we can see that William MCCOOMBE was still ensconced at the Crystal Palace pub and that Charles, his brother and future proprietor of the Crystal Palace, was with 2 of his sisters at 27 Corn Street which is the address where they were with their widowed mother in 1881 (see above). Kate in 1891 is probably Emily in 1881 which leads me to suspect that she was named either Kate Emily or Emily Kate. I suppose the entries could be for two people, Kate and Emily, but I don’t think so.

Kate GOLDSWORTHY Visitor 09 b. Bath
William GOLDSWORTHY Visitor 08 b. Bath

Kate SIMS or JAMES is probably Harriet Kate L. SIMS, the daughter of Jane MCCOOMBE who married Thomas Rowland SIMS..
Kate & William GOLDSWORTHY were nephews to Charles, the issue of his sister Alice Maud (Maud) who married James Walter (or Walter James) GOLDSWORTHY. The latter was a Livery Stable Keeper who in his 1818 death notice in the Bath Chronicle was described as “the well known jobmaster and funeral carriage proprietor”. His father William GOLDSWORTHY was also a Livery Stable Keeper.

From the 1901 census we can see that William MCCOOMBE was by then retired to 8 Beauford Square and his considerably younger brother Charles Sydney (by 20 years) had taken over the Crystal Palace pub.
