DescriptionThe petitioner reports that the Bedford Level Corporation intended to demolish "The Ship" at Purl's Bridge in April 1831, but resolved instead to demolish rival public house "The Chequers".

He represents that "The Chequers" is still open, and asks for some allowance to be made towards the money he laid out to prevent "The Ship" from falling down. One signatory.
