Where possible, I have endeavoured to give the names of the venues as they were at the times of the particular licences, but there may be some errors. -Ed.

Occasionally stage play licences and music & dancing licences were granted to run concurrently, sometimes to different persons.

Persons of the same name may have been inadvertently listed together.

Some of the few typographical errors in the original may have been inadvertently carried over to this index. Apologies are offered for any confusion that might ensue.

Refer directly to Howard’s entries for further information, including former and later names of buildings. licence refusals, etc. -Ed.
