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.

Annual Licensing Sessions

“Eight years ago we tried an experiment that had only been tried in one or two places then, of granting an extra half hour on weekdays during the summer months. No ill-effects have been observed, and the Licensing Magistrates are still of the opinion that that half hour is very useful to the licensees and residents the town during the crowded months of the summer. Therefore, as we have no regrets of having granted it to you, we are going to renew the whole of the liquor licences on the same terms as before”.

This very satisfactory statement on the sobriety of the borough was made by the Chairman of the Licensing Magistrates (Alderman R.G. Wood) at the Annual Licensing Sessions at the Town Hall on Wednesday. The other Magistrates were Engineer Rear Admiral L.J. Stephens, Mr. J.H. Blamey, Councillor W. Hollands, Mr. F. Seager, Mr. W. Smith, and Dr. W.W. Nuttall.

An application was made by Mr. Kennett for a wireless licence in respect of the Imperial Hotel, Folkestone.

The application was granted.
