The Clarendon Hotel
This well-known commercial establishment has just changed
hands. I regret the cause. Mr. Joseph Foster, who has been in possession for so
many years, has been compelled to relinquish business owing to serious ill
health. Together with his wife he is now residing in Essex, and one and all
will hope he may yet be restored to his former self. If loving care and
attention count for anything, we may feel sure this will be brought about.
Although regret is expressed on all sides at the departure of Mr. and Mrs.
Foster, yet this is somewhat mitigated by the knowledge that the famous
hostelry has passed into the hands of a gentleman who has won the esteem of all
who know him. I refer to Mr. Venner, the proprietor of the Rose Hotel. One of
nature`s gentlemen, and withal imbued with keen business faculties, I predict
that Mr. Venner will continue to uphold the name of the Clarendon as being one
of the best-conducted hotels in the town. At any rate, all who have the
pleasure of his acquaintance will wish Mr. Venner`s enterprise the success it
undoubtedly deserves. If all licensed premises were conducted on the same
admirable lines as the Rose and Clarendon, there would be little to complain of
in the length and breadth of the land.

The Clarendon Hotel
Great alterations and improvements have been made by the
present proprietors – the Folkestone Distillery Company – in this
old-established and popular hotel. The whole of the ground floor has been
remodelled, and very handsomely fitted bars, with beautifully embossed and
silvered windows and every modern fitting and appliance, and the most effective
decorations have been introduced. The work has been admirably carried out by
the contractor, Mr. Fearon, and the hotel, which will be under the management
of Mr. and Mrs. Poole, will be formally opened today (Saturday), and we hope it
will continue to increase in public favour.
The
Magistrates confirmed plans which were submitted for alterations to the
