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.

Harry Culver, a well-known man with a wife and family to provide for, lost his horse on Saturday. The horse was worth about £25 – a terrific loss for a man in his position, and one which will prevent him from obtaining a livelihood.

Fortunately Mr. Albert Hart, the proprietor of the Bouverie Arms, and the young and energetic Guardian of the Poor, who has saved the ratepayers so much by his skill and knowledge in building the new infirmaries, stepped into the breach and opened a subscription, which we publish in today`s paper. It will be seen that some of Mr. Hart`s influential friends have headed the same, and we trust that in a few days he will have received sufficient to replace Culver`s loss.

Every subscription given to Mr. Hart will be acknowledged through our columns. We might note that every penny given will go to Culver, and no deductions will be made either for printing, postage, collecting, etc. Mr. Hart gives his services free, and any little assistance we can afford is also freely given.
