Biografie

In 1793 a group of members of the licensed victualling trade decided to form themselves into a friendly society for the mutual benefit of publicans and the relief of sick, infirm and distressed members of the licensed victualling trade and their families. A formal agreement of association was signed on 3 February 1794 which was subsequently incorporated by royal charter on 3 May 1836.

The Society established its own daily newspaper, the Morning Advertiser, in order to promote its interests and to add to its funds. The first issue was launched from its offices in Catherine Street, the Strand on 8 February 1794. In 1815, after 21 years of regular publication, the offices and works were moved to 127 Fleet Street where they remained until 1927 when new premises were acquired in St Andrew Street, London EC4.

By 1802, the Society had acquired sufficient funds to establish a school in Kennington Lane for children of distressed, decayed and deceased members of the licensed victualling trade. New premises were built in 1837 on freehold land adjacent to the old site and, in 1921, the school removed to Slough, Buckinghamshire, where it remains.

The Society of Licensed Victuallers' offices moved to 57 Effra Road, London SW2 in 1975.
