Another early newspaper cutting from I would think about the 1930’s but it hasn’t changed much has it? Jennifer Thackwray asks: “I was wondering who has owned the Cod and Lobster in Staithes. I was told that my Grandfather Thackwray’s Auntie owned it at some point — I suspect in the early 1900’s and or late 1800’s. I don’t have her name though. Would anyone know the names of past owners?” The Archive would suggest that Lavinia Lane was Licensee of the ‘Slip Way’ (Cod and Lobster?) in the 1891 Census; Bulmers Directory of 1890 records a Cod and Lobster with Lavinia as mine host.
Cutting from a collection gifted to the Archive, most of the cuttings coming from the Northern Echo and cover the period 1930 to 1940; thanks to Jennifer Thackwray for the enquiry.
