I have been given a transcribed diary of an ancestor Charles Peter Hardess,
1794-1870. In it is the diary entry with the date of November 1830: ***
"By mid Nov. they had left the farm and took over a Public House called the
"Sign of the Rising Sun" in Sale Street, Bethnal Green and Charles paid down
to a Mr. Rickman £20." - Diary of Charles Peter Hardess, transcribed...
I presume from this he became the publican. Unfortunately it wasn’t the best
choice of occupations as from other diary entries he was quite argumentative
and enjoyed a few too many alcoholic drinks!
On June 9th 1831 there is another diary entry: ***
They left the "Rising Sun" and took lodge at a Mr. Saabers [?] in Charles
Street in the Commercial Road at 3/- per week."
