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.

We Hear

That Mr. Albert Hart has initiated a first-class idea. He is presenting a massive silver cup to be competed for by the teams representing the various trades in the town. All matches will be played on the Folkestone Ground, and the proceeds, after paying expenses, will be handed over to the hospital. This should make Folkestone`s football season next year doubly attractive.

Mr. Herbert suggested that it would be possible to sell liquor from this office.

Mr. Haines said that there could be no object in so doing. The house itself was quite near.

The Magistrates approved of the plans, which were duly signed.
