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 16-11-1907

Saturday, November 9th: Before The Mayor, Major Leggatt, G.I. Swoffer, W.G. Herbert, R.J. Linton, and T. Ames Esqs.

Hannah Warman was summoned by Adelaide Victoria Cornish for assaulting her. Defendant pleaded Not Guilty.

Complainant, who informed the Bench that she had come to speak the truth, said her husband was a fisherman, and she lived at 67, Radnor Street. On Saturday evening, shortly before nine o`clock, she went to the Jubilee public house to get half a pint of stout. The defendant also came in and used bad language about a “War Cry” and complainant`s husband. She (Mrs. Cornish) took no notice of her, and defendant pitched into her when she had a baby in her arms. The landlord ordered Mrs. Warman out of the house, and when she (complainant) went out she was waiting for her. She knocked her down, laid on her chest, and struck her on the nose. She did not get off her until a policeman came. She threatened to serve her ten times worse if she summoned her.

Mrs. Mary Whittingstall, the complainant`s mother, corroborated her, and also stated that the baby had been ill ever since Monday in consequence of the defendant knocking her daughter down when she had the baby in her arms.

Defendant said what the complainant had said was all false. Mrs. Cornish insulted her and struck her. Mr. Gell ordered her outside, and then the complainant said she would fight her. She struck her, so she could do nothing but strike her back.

John Edward Gell said the two had kicked up a disturbance in his house, so he ordered Mrs. Warman out. She was not drunk. He advised Mrs. Cornish to go out by another door in order to get out of the way, but she said she would go out and fight defendant. Mrs. Cornish struck the defendant first and then gave her baby to her mother so that she could have a fight. The two women certainly did fight for ten minutes.

The Mayor said the case was not proved to the satisfaction of the Bench, and the case would be dismissed.
