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.

Wednesday, April 8th: Before Messrs. W. Wightwick, Lieut. Colonel Hamilton, G.I. Swoffer, and E.T. Ward.

James McLean was charged with deserting from the Scottish Rifles, at Dover. He pleaded Guilty.

Inspector Lilley stated that at 11.30 on Tuesday night he saw prisoner walking up Dover Street. He saw him go to the Oddfellows public house, where he stood knocking for some minutes, getting no answer. As he had a military appearance about him he questioned him. In reply to his enquiries, prisoner said he came from Deal and Dover, at which latter place he had been working for a week. His name, he said, was William Wilson, and he described himself as a labourer. Asked if he was a soldier, he replied in the negative. Not being satisfied with his answers, the Inspector took him to the police station. Here prisoner said that last week he worked on the Pier at Dover, and lodged with a Mrs. Jackson in Roseberry Street, Dover. In communication with the Dover police, it was ascertained that this statement was false, as there was no such street in Dover. McLean then said he had worked at Winchester, but subsequently he told the Inspector not to trouble any further, admitting that he was a deserter from the Scottish Rifles.

Prisoner now had nothing to say.

An officer, who was in Court, said prisoner should have gone out with a draft to South Africa that morning.

Prisoner was handed over to an escort who were present in Court, and a reward of £1 was granted to Inspector Lilley for having effected the arrest.
