Joseph Livesey was an advocate for temperance, a politician, social reformer, and writer. Temperance hotels essentially provided the same amenities as a regular hotel, except for the alcohol. This was an early attempt by Livesey to spread abstinence, which would become a popular aspect of 19th Century England and would result in the formation of temperance hotels in Scotland and other places across Britain.
