Globe Hotel

As you will have noticed by the last few issues of our paper, this old-established and popular hostelry has recently undergone a proprietorial change, and now claims Mr. Arthur O. Allen as its owner. The new proprietor is a gentleman who has had several years` experience of hotel life in Hull and Oxford, and has piloted licensed properties to success in both places. In the University City he held the Market Vaults Hotel, High Street, and many tourists to Folkestone who have included it in their current summer`s itinerary have not failed to renew their acquaintance with Mr. Allen, with whom he was so deservedly popular. He is a gentleman whom no-one can mistake as a Yorkshireman, and has to all appearances the best part of business life in front of him. For the short time he has been in possession of the Globe Hotel, which is so centrally situated on The Bayle, Mr. Allen had had hosts of daily and weekly boarders, and our French visitors, who have largely patronised his hotel, have congratulated him on the excellence of his cuisine.

Thursday, August 31^st: Before The Mayor, Messrs. Westropp, Vaughan, and Fynmore.

Frank Albert Turnham was charged with stealing money, the property of Edward James Wood.

Edward James Wood said he was an assistant to Mr. Camburn, butcher, High Street, and kept his money in a tin box in his clothes box. He kept his clothes box locked, and carried the key in his pocket. On going to bed he usually laid the key on the dressing table with his purse. The prisoner occupied a bed in the same room. Witness missed a sovereign from his box on August 7^th, and between the 20^th and 27^th he missed £3 10s. He could not tell if it went all at once, but on Sunday morning last, on going to his box, he found one sovereign and five half sovereigns missing. He last saw the money in his box on the 20^th August. The prisoner had always slept in the same room, and also the other boy. Later on Sunday the prisoner came into the bedroom, and witness told him he had missed £3 10s. from his box, and asked the prisoner if he knew anything about it. Prisoner replied “No, I haven`t been there”. Prisoner took his empty cash box from his own clothes box and showed it to witness and said “There you are, you can see there is nothing in that”. Witness gave information to the police last night. The prisoner had been in Mr. Camburn`s service about 18 months. There was £7 0s. 6d. still remaining in the cash box on Sunday morning.

Alfred Maxted, of 54, Fernbank Crescent, said he met the prisoner at the Globe Hotel on Saturday morning, August 26^th. Witness had a glass of beer, and prisoner had a glass of ginger beer, which the accused paid for with a ticket from an automatic machine. Later on prisoner asked for change for half a sovereign, which the landlord gave him.

Detective Burniston said: At 11.15 last night, from information I received from the witness Wood, I made enquiries and went to 39, High Street, and saw the prisoner in bed. I said to him “I am going to ask a few questions about £3 10s., which was stolen from a box in this room”. I cautioned him, and said “On Saturday last you changed half a sovereign at the Globe Hotel. Where did you get it?” He said “My brother gave it to me”. I said “I have seen your brother, and he says he has not lent you any money”. Prisoner then said “I did take half a sovereign from Wood`s box on Thursday last, but not £3 10s.”. I brought him to the police station, and when charged he said “I admit taking one half sovereign, and changed it at the Globe Hotel”. On being searched no money or keys were found in his possession or in his bedroom.

The prisoner, who pleaded Guilty, said he took the money to pay for some boots.

The Mayor pointed out to the prisoner the serious nature of the charge and the position he had placed himself in. The Bench, however, were going to take a lenient view of the case, and he would be bound over in the sum of £20 to be of good behaviour for 12 months, and hoped it would be a warning to him in future.

Felix

A Folkestone gentleman home from Singapore has asked me the question as to the identity of the cannons which are to be seen outside the Shakespeare and Globe Hotels. There they stand, buried muzzle downwards. How long have they been there? Who placed them there? To what battery did they belong? My attention has often been called to these old cannon, but after all, there are many who pass them by practically unnoticed.

Folkestone Herald 6-2-1909

Felix

Those Guns

Under this heading, a week or so back, I made an enquiry in regard to those guns which stand muzzle downwards outside the Shakespeare and Globe Hotels. I asked “Where did they come from? Who placed them there?” Those queries did not escape the eagle eye of our esteemed frien, Lieut. Col. Fynmore, of Sandgate, who writes me on the subject as follows:- “Dear Felix, As to the guns, we want an artillerist`s opinion of them, then evidence of old inhabitants as to when they remember them being placed there (if within recollection). I should say that they have been placed where they are since the Crimean War. I have newspaper scraps dated 1881, 1899, and 1905 enquiring about them. What are the dates of the Gun Brewery and Gun Tavern? Of course, they would be named after the gun was put there. The matter should be elucidated. As I said, first we want an expert to say whether they are Waterloo or Crimean guns. If the latter, surely there would be a record in the Corporation books as to when they were given. After all, they may have been discarded from the old battery.” Now it is rather strange. On Sunday morning, during a short stroll over the hills, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Tite, the respected father in the partner of Tite and Roff. This gentleman mentioned that he had read my note about the guns, and added “I am now seventy eight, but they have stood in their places as long as I can remember”. Mr. Tite`s relative, the late Alderman Ham Tite, I believe at one time owned the Gun Brewery, and that was many years ago. Perhaps some of my old Folkestone friends can throw a little light on these old pieces of ordnance.
