Hello all,
I desperatly need to know why the Price Albert Public House was known locally as a "clean house" . . . if anyone knows anything about this, please help me. It seems to me that this would mean the pub didn't sell alcohol, but this seems odd. |

Hi, Kris
I don't know where you picked up this characterization that the Prince Albert public house was known locally as a "clean house" but I should think it simply means that it was a better class and well kept pub compared to some other establishments that might be termed dives, e.g., a characterization that might fit places along the Ratcliffe Highway or other locales near the docks.
Best regards

Hallo Christopher,
Ah, I see. That makes sense. Not the type of place that allows ragamuffins in, eh?
I took that characterization from the Jack the Ripper A-Z, and I believe also from Letters From Hell, but I could be wrong on the second one.
Thank you for the help Christopher. |

Suzi,
The Cloak and Dagger on College St. might have been a Clean House before we were there the other night, but it certainly isn't now!

Hi
I was under the impression, especially from tales of the American frontier, that a clean house was one which did not allow prostitutes or known troublemakers.
Aside from that I agree with Chris.
All The Best
