Thomas is listed as a publican (Inn Keeper) of The Bulls Head from 1835 to 1838 The 1841 census shows him as a Victualar in Dob Lane Failsworth and in 1847, and Newton in 1855 The Inn appears to have been situated just off the Main Manchester to Oldham Turnpike some 4 miles NE of Manchester, between the turnpike and the Rochdale Canal. In 1849 Thomas sold the Inn Bulls Head has the oldest alehouse licence in Failsworth that can be traced back to 1731. In 1734 a Turnpike Act was passed to improve the road from Manchester to Austerlands on the Yorkshire border, via Failsworth, Hollins and Oldham. This increased the prospect of having horse-drawn vehicles passing by and their drivers and passengers coming in for refreshments. By the 1830's there was a decline of the stage coach and the appearance of the first local omnibuses. These ran to Manchester from Bulls Head every day at 10:00am, noon, 5:30pm, 7:15pm and 8:30pm, and the service was well established by 1836. |
 Failsworth circa 1843  Failsworth circa 1893 |
In 1841 there were 10 inns in Failsworth and a rapidly growing population of over 2000 serving a number of Mills in the area.
An April 1849 a newspaper advertisement stated "...The house is replete with every convenience for the trade, contains five entertaining rooms, on the ground floor, exclusive of bar and pantry; large club room, containing nearly 100 square yards of flooring; four bedrooms; brewhouse, fitted up on best principle; with a never-failing supply of water, good wash-house, detached stables, piggerles, garden, etc. There are three clubs attached to the house, one of which is held fortnightly; and a Manchester Omnibus runs to and from the house sixteen times a day. .." The address of Bulls Head changed in mid 1880's from Dob Lane to the present 3 Oldham Road.
A survey in 1890 found the new Bulls Head could accommodate three travelers and provide meals for up to twenty persons. There was stabling for six horses and the nearest public houses were each 500 yards away - the Weavers and the Church Inn, Newton Heath.

It is not clear if Thomas' second marriage had broken down or if he had originally intended to send for his wife and other children, when he was settled in Australia. Expectations of high wages in Au were sadly exagerated and labourer were lucky to attain £30 per annum.
