There is reference in the 1815 Directory as the Taylors Arms, although in the 1822 Directory it is spelt Tailors Arms.
August 1834 Edward Hollis of the Taylors Arms prefered a charge against his son also Edward 28 for assaulting him when drunk, breaking doors and refusing to leave. Edward Junior promised to leave his fathers house if charges were not proceeded with. Edward Senior consented notwithstanding he said “my son has abused me many times” So the case was discharged.
In the 1849, directory Sophia Stafford recorded as licensee. The Leicester Chronicle of the 17th of June 1854, reported of a fight in the Tailors Arms, when John Elkin, a militiaman, was charged with assaulting and breaking the ribs of Henry Brown, a groom. Elkin was fined 10/- (50p) or one month’s imprisonment.
It was still recorded in 1861 as a beer house, William Cheney as keeper.
By the 1880s, it seems to have become a shop.
