RICHMOND ARMS, 56 KING RICHARDS ROAD

The Richmond Arms once brewed its own beer, as in 1873 the brewing vessels were sold off by auction.

The same year George Kirkland, the landlord was charged with allowing gambling in his beerhouse, when two men fell out playing bagatelle for ale. Kirkland undertook to have the bagatelle board removed, so the case was withdrawn.

Circa 1929 from the Nick Miller Collection.

The new Richmond Arms circa 1973.  The redevelopment obliterated much of the old Kings Richards Road area.  The pub’s new address was Hinckley Road/Andrews Street. See post here.
