The following is part of an email sent by Lenore Frost from Essendon in Victoria, Australia… Many years ago I did some research on the Avon Packet Hotel, as an ancestor resided and worked there. My ancestor was Ann Hitchman. Her daughter Emma Hitchman married Moses Rennolds Evans in Bath in 1851 – Emma gave her occupation as dressmaker, with the address as 10 Southgate St, Bath. When I looked at this address in the 1851 Census, it turned out to be another pub – the innkeeper was Eliza Parfitt, and other residents were inn servants. By the time of the census Emma was married and living with Moses Evans at the Avon Packet Tavern, Coronation Road, Bristol. Emma’s mother Ann was shown as an assistant, and her son in law Moses evans was the head, aged 51, a retailer of beer.
Ann Hitchman died in 1853 aged 69, still residing in Coronation Road. Emma Evans died on 18 Nov 1855, aged 42, Moses Rennolds Evans died and was buried on 14 July 1864, abode Coronation Road, aged 65, so I’m betting that he was still the publican at the tavern at that time.
You showed a Fanny Evans for 1865 in your list, and checking the Free BMD index I found that Moses had remarried in the September Quarter 1863. There wasn’t a matching entry for the bride, so I guess that is still coming.
Some years ago I wrote to the Courage Brewery to enquire about the pub and was sent some information by the archivist as to items contained in a bundle of old deeds – in reference to the ownership of the building. The deeds are dated from 1843 to 1974.

Courage Brewery Archive
History Of The Albert Inn (1832 – 2012) By Ian Storror Ian researched the history of the Albert Inn during his time as landlord 1979 to 2005.
There has been a public house of sorts on this, and /or, adjacent sites for nearly 170 years. The address on Shim Lane was attributed to the inn ‘The Spotted Horse’, as far back as 1842. The first mention of the name of the pub only occurs on record, when it has displayed outside, a pub sign.
A license to sell beer under the William IV Act, was granted as early as 1832 to a Mr. William Dart for an address in Shim Lane, Bedminster. It can be assumed that this was the same building, but without a pub sign. Several licenses to the same address were granted;
1832-1833: William Dart 1833-1838: P. Beacham 1839-1842: Henry Wakefield / John Sampson
Henry Wakefield moved to a premises at an address in Mill Lane & Providence Place, taking his license with him, but this time displaying The Spotted Horse pub sign. The previous address continued to have a William IV license in the name of John Sampson.
In 1848, Sampson upgraded the Shim Lane site and displayed a pub sign, also calling it The Spotted Horse. It is very possible that this original site had always been known by word of mouth as the Spotted Horse, prior to Henry Wakefield moving. It is likely that he would try to take his customers from one place to the other, and to keep familiarity, kept the same name.
The name of the pub at this time is unique to Bristol. Considering the number of pubs in the City, it suggests that it was so called, (by locals of the area) because a particular farmer may have had a spotted horse. Something not commonly seen, even in those days of horse power, and extremely rare today.
In 1700 Bristol had a recorded number of 240 Alehouses, which equalled one to every 20 families. By 1712 it was 253, and by 1735 it had risen to 5,701, one per 16 households.
By 1842 that figure was upwards of 8,000 and these two are the only so named (the Spotted Horse), to this date.
1848-1872: John Sampson at The Spotted Horse, Shim Lane.
It seemed that up to now the license holder, had also been the owner. But this extant reference of Indenture (deed or contract), supplied by former owners Courage Ltd (as their earliest actual sale record), shows that John Latham was owner, and that John Sampson and his predecessors were tenants, paying rent.
Indenture 26th March 1873: Between John Latham Press, gentleman of Bristol and Walter Gardiner, gentleman of Bristol. All that messuages and public house known as the Spotted Horse, situated at the corner of West Street and Albert Road- Messuage (*)and public house only £200. (*) Messuage means a dwelling house, together with it’s outbuildings, curtilage (yard), and the adjacent land appropriated to its use.
1873-1876: J.H. Williams at The Spotted Horse, Shim Lane.
Shim Lane became Sheene Lane and then Sheene Road. The word ‘Shim’ relates to a worker of wood, a scraper or polisher of wood, to put on a sheen. It is likely such a worker or site of woodworking occurred in the lane.
1876-1879: Isaac Aaron Jones, at The Spotted Horse (now at Sheene Lane).
Isaac Aaron Jones, served an apprenticeship as a cooper (1857) on leaving school, and it was assumed that he went to sea to ply his trade as barrel maker. He married Sarah Anne Morgan (1870) and they had three children; Jim, Lillian and Mary Ann (known as Polly) The Morgan’s owned a lot of property in the Bedminster and Redcliffe areas.
Upon his death in 1878, Sarah had to struggle to retain the pub as women publicans were frowned on at this time. She prevailed, though it took nearly two years to have the pub put into her own name.
1880-1889: Sarah Ann Jones, at The Spotted Horse, corner of West St and Sheene Lane & Albert Rd.
The painting of the Spotted Horse shown at the top, was commissioned by Sarah during her tenure, well sort of!
It seems that sometime around 1884 she provided accommodation for a travelling German artist, who consequently couldn’t pay his bill. She demanded a watercolour painting of the pub as payment. The picture is not signed or dated unfortunately but this story is retold by a Mrs.Trickey of Ashton (in the Malago, historical magazine), who was the granddaughter of Sarah Jones.
It seems she was pleased with the result, as she touted him around to other licensees to paint their pubs as well.
The Cross Hands at Bedminster Down was definitely among them as it has been displayed in exhibits by the Malago Society (Mr Anton Bantock).
Sarah moved out of the pub in 1889, when the pub was demolished, to a cottage on the adjacent corner of Kent St and West St. She became a much respected figure in the area, until her death in 1923 aged 83.
The Albert Hotel was built in it’s place by it’s new owners;
Indenture 27th August 1888: Maurice Reynolds, Brewer in possession having purchased property from Walter Edwin Gardiner and Sarah Gardiner for £1000, including all that piece of land situate at the corner of West Street and Sheene Road, formerly Sheene Lane and Albert Road.
The Albert was built in circa 1889 as The Albert Hotel, and must have been almost next door or on the same site as the Spotted Horse, because by now it’s address was Sheene Lane and Albert Road. Albert Road was probably a continuation of Sheene Lane, which was bisected by West Street.
The cottages and houses opposite the pub (now in Diamond St and British Rd, formerly Victoria St) are named as the road, Albert Villas.
Albert Place is a lane that runs to the side of Albert Cottage built in 1846.
This is probably also why the pub was named The Albert, though an older pub called the Albert Inn is listed in Whitehouse St, Bedminster, and could have transferred the name to the present site.
Most of the houses in this part of the Bedminster area of Bristol were built to accommodate the workforce of WD & HO Wills, (tobacco manufacturers) in East Street, and are made of the same type of brick, from the Malago and Bedminster brick works.
1889-1890: Mark Gould at The Spotted Horse, Sheene Lane 1890-1897: Mark Gould at The Albert Hotel, 80 Albert Rd & Sheene Lane. 1897-1899: Mrs. Green at The Albert Hotel, 80 Albert Rd & Sheene Lane.
Somewhere between 1888 and 1899 (no record of sale) the Spotted Horse was acquired by a partnership, because it was sold in an Indenture in 1899.
Indenture 11.12.1899: “All that messuage (*) or public house known as the Spotted Horse, situated at the corner of West Street and Albert road, between Fenwick Richards, Tobacco Manufacturer and Henry Napier Abbott and the Bristol United Breweries. Agreement of sale for the sum of £265. Mr W. Marlin (Tenant).
1899-1900: Mr. W. Marlin at The Albert Hotel, now 1 West Street. 1900-1920: Mrs. Louisa Archard at The Albert Hotel, 1 West St. 1921-1938: Mrs. Francis Bolt at The Albert Hotel, 1 West St. 1939-1944: Frederick Dale Stephens at The Albert Hotel, 1 West St. 1944- 1963: Stanley Ivor Jones at The Albert Hotel, 1 West St.
In 1956 Bristol United Breweries Ltd merged with Bristol Breweries, Georges & Co Ltd.
In turn Georges & Co Ltd. sold the Albert Hotel to Courage, Barclay & Simonds Ltd for the sum of £8,950 on the 1st September 1962. This was part of Courage’s take over of Georges as a whole.
1963-1965: Brian John Payne and Sandra Payne at The Albert Hotel, 1 West St. 1965-1978: Kenneth Pearce and Millicent O. Pearce at The Albert Hotel, 1 West St. 1978-1979: Robert Leslie Duggan and Patricia McCleod at The Albert Hotel, 1 West St. 1979-1986: Lawrence Edward Griffiths and Ian Richard Storror at The Albert Hotel (‘till 1984) then The Albert Inn, 1 West St. 1986- 2005: Ian Richard Storror at The Albert Inn, 1 West St.
In the period that I have been licensee of the Albert Hotel and Inn, the ownership has changed a lot more rapidly than it’s licensee!
Originally when I came in, it was Courage Ltd (until 1991), then Grand Metropolitan/Courage (GM /C) until 1994 which then became Inntrepreneur owned jointly by GM / C.
1995 Inntrepreneur Pub Co was then launched as a separate company and took ownership, but not for long !
28th May 1996: Transferred pub to Spring Inns, but still a part of Inntrepreneur, (I think)?
March 1997: Transferred to the 1406 Pub Co Ltd as a wheeze!!
Described to me by sources close to the higher up’s at Inntrepreneur thus;
“Someone had heard that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was planning to increase stamp duty in his budget on sale and transfer of property. So the thinking was, to switch it quickly to avoid paying extra duty”. Of course the Chancellor did no such thing !!
March 1998: Pub ownership now changes to the Grand Pub Co Ltd as Grand Metropolitan and Inntrepreneur who are supposed to be separate companies are bought by the institution known as Nomura International Bank PLC. This means they also acquire the Pheonix Pub Co Ltd and Chef and Brewer, further subsidiaries of Inntrepreneur.
June 1998: Nomura decide to amalgamate all subsidiaries under Inntrepreneur Supplyline Ltd and the Albert follows the paper trail.
October 1999: The Albert Inn is sold to Pennant Inns This represents 8 changes of ownership in 10 years.
November 2002: Find out that Atlasway 4 Ltd is actual owner, not Pennant Inns who it appears were acting as a management agent for Atlasway Ltd.
July 2003: Discover that Atlasway Ltd are actually a property developer group which owns 70+ pubs and is based in London. Owners Jacob and Richard Schreiber (father owned Schreiber Kitchens), family of Hasidic Orthodox Jews. They are very difficult to communicate with because of their religious beliefs. They demand the Licensee leaves in order to turn building into 6-8 apartments, but only offer negligible amount, equivalent to rateable value.
October 2004: Licensee Ian Storror enters into litigation to stay at the pub,and for the premises to be brought up to safe trading and living standards, or receive proper compensation
Loses case in May 2005 and is forced to leave by end of August 2005.
Whilst case is under litigation Atlasway, sells all its pubs (apart from the Albert and two others also in litigation) for £71M.
Jan 2006: Pub remains unsold for a year, then sold to another private owner who sits on the premises for a further year unused, before again selling on to current owners who refurbished the property in order to let the flats and re-open the premises as a pub again.
Sept 2008 to present (2012): Pub re-opens and still is today though has been closed temporarily for two periods (3 months and 6 months) in the interim by the police for licensing breaches.
