Welcome

Welcome to Even More Tales From The Tap Room.

Core dates and information on licensees tenure are taken from Martin Easdown and Eamonn Rooney`s two fine books on the pubs of Folkestone, Tales From The Tap Room and More Tales From The Tap Room - unfortunately now out of print. Dates for the tenure of licensees are taken from the very limited editions called Bastions Of The Bar and More Bastions Of The Bar, which were given free to very early purchasers of the books.

Easiest navigation of the site is by clicking on the PAGE of the pub you are looking for and following the links to the different sub-pages. Using the LABELS is, I`m afraid, not at all user-friendly.

Contrast Note

Whilst the above-mentioned books and supplements represent an enormous amount of research over many years, it is almost inevitable that further research will throw up some differences to the published works. Where these have been found, I have noted them. This is not intended to detract in any way from previous research, but merely to indicate that (possible) new information is available.

Mr. A. Dickenson, of the brewery, Tontine Street, made an application to a house at the bottom of High Street. The house had formerly had a beer license, but the previous occupier having left without giving notice, the certificate had expired, and he now applied for a new one. Mr. Dickenson stated that he intended making extensive alterations in the house, plans of which he produced. There being an informality in the notice, the Bench did not accede to the application.

Application for a beer license.
Mr. A. Dickenson, Tontine Street, applied for a license for a house in Beach Street. The house had formerly a beer license. The previous occupier, however, left without giving notice, and the certificate having expired, he now asked for a new one. Mr. Dickenson produced plans to show the alterations he intended to make in the house. In consequence of an informality in the notice, the license was not granted.

Annual Licensing Meeting
The Tradesmen`s Arms: Mr. Minter applied on behalf of Messrs. Dickenson for a license to this house, which faces the bottom of High Street. It had been shut up for some time. It was Messrs. Dickenson`s intention to erect a new house if the Bench granted the application, which would be a great ornament to that part of town (The plans were here produced).
Mr. C. Dickenson here produced the notice which he had prepared. On submitting it to the Magistrates` Clerk he declared it to be informal, as it did not contain the occupation of the applicant.
The application was withdrawn.
