Westminster St Margaret index
This house stood at the eastern end of Catherine Street, on the corner with what all the maps call William Street. However, its address is given as Palace Street in all the licensing references from The Era, and in alternate Censuses (1841, 1861, 1881). It is clear from the 1861 Census (which names all pubs in the area) that the southern half of William Street, from Catherine Street southwards on the west, and from the Catholic Chapel southwards on the east, was regarded as part of Palace Street: the house on the corner with Catherine Street was No. 52 (53 in The Era). In the 1851 Census the address was 13½ Catherine Street and in 1871 it was 14 Catherine Street. By 1891, Catherine Street had been re-numbered and the pub was at No. 48. The Palace Arms was a beer-shop until 1858. *
