Wylam's Inns

At the Stephenson's Arms, Michael Lynch was described as a 'beerhousekeeper and general dealer', at the Fox and Hounds, Robert Johnson was also a miner, John Phillips at the Bird Inn was a grocer, and at the Ship Inn, Edward Hawkins also worked as a bootmaker as well as the Innkeeper.
