Francis Duffett was also a maltster with premises just around the corner in Barton Street and in Jacob Street St.Philip’s. No longer a pub by 1919, this building which was thought to date from around 1715 was in poor condition by world war two and was demolished not long after. The publican in 1754 was a gentleman named Israel Trout, this is perhaps an indication as to when the building first became a public House. Landlord Tom (Fatty) Davies was once the captain of Bristol Rugby Club.

These pictures were sent in by Yvonne Duffett of South Africa, they show her Father in law’s great grandfather Francis Thomas Duffett and his wife Elizabeth Legg. This was thought to be the same Francis Duffett who was at the Trout 1841-47.

The opening lines from ‘Early Music Hall In Bristol’ a pamphlet by Kathleen Barker.

Wine is the thing
That makes a body sing…
Pass round the bottle and start…
(Hooray for Daisy, Theatre Royal, 1959)

‘In this spirit was music hall born, in Bristol as elsewhere; in the taverns and the randier eating houses, at the Pleasure Gardens where song and dance accompanied al fresco refreshment. The first trace of organised entertainment in a Bristol public house comes in 1789, when the proprietor of the Old Trout Tavern in Cherry Lane off Stokes Croft advertised “Comus Court” to be held on 6 June, when:

The Gentlemen of the original Catch-Club, Castle Ditch, have generously offered their kind assistance for that night only… N.B. This evening is intended to be chearful and harmonious, with variety of SONGS by Mr. DEARLE, for his benefit, being the last night of his performing in Bristol. — Admittance One Shilling, at Eight o’ Clock’.

Next door to the Garrick’s Head, pictured during a spell when both buildings were being used as public houses. The gable to the right was the entrance to the Theatre Royal which was rebuilt in 1903, the two old pub buildings were demolished shortly afterwards. Margaret Leach was a granddaughter of Elkanah Wookey, one time proprietor of the King’s Head, Back Street. Her second husband was Paul Herman Eugene Kautz, a German seaman. They had the White Horse, Queen St (Christmas Steps), in 1887, and moved to the Theatre Tavern in 1888. Paul died and in 1896 Margaret became the landlord. She married for a third time to David Lynch, a self-employed boatman, and we see her as landlord under her new name in 1900. This information was kindly provided by Peter Robinson.

The Ship had entrances in both Denmark Street and Hanover Street, in this picture it is shown in Hanover Street. The 1841 census records it in Hanover Street but in all other censuses it is shown with a Denmark Street address. Directories list the pub in both streets. The Ship was demolished in 1911 when most of Hanover street was swept away for the new Bristol Hippodrome.
