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.

Folkestone Express 7-1-1888

Thursday, January 5th: Before Capt. Carter, J. Hoad, J. Fitness, and S. Penfold Esqs.

William Simmonds was charged with stealing 8s. from the person of Henry Charles Fisher.

Prosecutor said he met the prisoner at the Jubilee public house on The Stade and asked him to have a drink. They had several pints of beer together and prosecutor went to sleep. When he went into the house he had eleven shillings in his pocket, and he might have spent about 3s. When he awoke it was nearly dark. He missed all his money, and in consequence went to Brice and reported the matter. About eleven o`clock they found the prisoner in bed at The Radnor.

George Wadey, of 21, Denmark Street, said at half past four on Wednesday afternoon he was in the bar at the Jubilee. He saw Fisher there asleep. He saw the prisoner with his hand in Fisher`s right hand trousers pocket. Prisoner said to him “We are all pensioners together”. Prisoner paid for four quarts of beer. There were about six people in the room, and others went in and out.

William Brice said he found prisoner in bed at the Radnor at eleven o`clock. He charged him with the theft. He replied “All the money I`ve had from the man is one shilling to buy some cooked fish for him”. Afterwards he said prosecutor gave him 4d. to pay for his night`s lodging. He took prisoner to the police station and he was searched by Sergt. Butcher. No money was found on him.

The Bench thought the evidence was too weak to justify a conviction and discharged the prisoner.
