6 Tivoli Place in 1919, 1939. The Tivoli Inn closed in October / November 1979 and the building was used as an extension to the adjoining Tivoli trading business.

The Tivoli was the only tied house of William Luce’s Malmesbury Brewery in Cheltenham although it is quite possible, of course, that they supplied some local free houses with their ales & stouts. William Luce owned the Tivoli Inn in 1891 and 1903. It was a licensed ale house and had an annual rateable value of £34.0s.0d. remaining at that level throughout the twelve years from late Victorian to early Edwardian times.

Hi Geoff,
 
Just a little one – in an article on the southtown website, it says of the Tivoli Inn that Mr. Vic Coles – respected local historian, “discovered that in its long history the Tivoli Inn had 23 tenants, the first being Mr. Prowton…” The article also says that the pub opened as the Tivoli Inn “by 1837 at the latest” (researcher Brian Torode). If this is correct, then Mr. Prowton becomes an earlier landlord for you.
 
Cheers,
 
Alan Jones
