The Folkestone Magistrates on Tuesday granted a
protection order to sell at the Jubilee Inn, Radnor Street, to Mr. R.P.
Rawlings, the Estates Manager for the brewers, who stated that they would put a
manager in charge until the transfer sessions, by which time they hoped to find
a landlord. The holder of the licence was Mr. William George Taylor. The
Magistrates` Clerk (Mr. C. Rootes) said he thought the cause of the transfer was
a financial matter.

Council Meeting Extract
The Folkestone Town Council on Wednesday approved of
the Health Committee`s recommendations concerning the scheme for dealing with
the whole of Radnor Street as a slum clearance, and further progress will
therefore be possible in connection with the rebuilding of the area. The scheme
include the compulsory purchase of four licensed houses, lodging houses, a
restaurant, stores, temporary buildings for amusement, and workshops.
The Health Committee`s recommendations dealing with the
matter were as follows: (extract)
Resolved: That Compulsory Purchase Orders be made for
the purchase by the Council; that there shall be included in the
above-mentioned Compulsory Purchase Orders the under-mentioned properties and
such other properties which are surrounded by or adjoin the clearance area,
including: Radnor Street, No. 59, public house (Packet Boat Inn); No. 24,
public house (Jubilee Inn); No. 30, public house (Oddfellows Arms); No. 38,
public house (Ship Inn)
Councillor Dallas Brett said with regard to the four
public houses those were matters presenting somewhat of a difficulty. It was a
difficulty which had not been got over at the present moment, because it had
not been tackled, but he was informed at the Ministry in other schemes
throughout the country, where public houses had existed and had to be got rid
of, private arrangement with the brewers had been made, which had been more
satisfactory than would have been thought possible He proposed to ask his
Committee to give instructions to himself and the Town Clerk to see what
arrangements could be made. Whatever they did, they had got to realise that the
whole area had to be cleared, and that they included in their plans two very
valuable sites for public house property, to take the place of one or two or
more of the houses which were in existence in Radnor Street at the present
time. It was a matter of negotiations.
Councillor Barfoot said he believed that the scheme
would be materially reduced if the stores and two public houses on the Fish
Market were left as they were, and if the houses which it was proposed to build
on that site were built on what was now the amusement park.
The resolution confirming the adoption of the
recommendations was almost unanimously carried.

Council Meeting Extract
On Wednesday the Folkestone Town Council had before
them the letter from the Ministry of Health in which they practically approved
of the Council`s scheme for making a slum clearance area. They made
suggestions, however, for a few properties to be excluded in order to lessen
the cost of the scheme.
The Health Committee, in consequence, in their minutes
recommended the preparation of fresh plans in order to provide for forty houses
on the site, and also that the three licensed houses, which were to be dealt
with under the original scheme, should be allowed to remain. The Council,
without any discussion, approved of the recommendations.
The Town Clerk submitted the following letter from the
Ministry of Health (extract): Ministry of Health, Whitehall, S.W. 1. 30th
August, 1934. “At the same time the Council will appreciate that when the
inclusion of expensive properties is proposed it is necessary to consider carefully
whether the cost of their acquisition does not outweigh their benefit to the
scheme, and in this connection the estimated cost of acquiring the licensed
premises in the area is of particular importance. The conclusion which the
Minister has reached is that the properties reference Nos. 88, 91, and 97
should be excluded”.
Note: It is unclear which three properties
this refers to, as originally there were to be four licensed houses cleared. I
suspect that it means the Oddfellows, Ship, and Jubilee.

Council Meeting Extract
A general scheme for the re-housing of the Radnor
Street area was definitely approved by the General Purposes Committee of the
Folkestone Town Council at their meeting yesterday (Thursday).
The Borough Surveyor submitted a report and description
of the proposed lay-out of the Radnor Street area.
The proposal assumes that the licensed houses will be
moved to alternative and more commodious sites, and it is desirable that these
premises should be moved, as only by these means can a symmetrical and
generally accepted lay-out be obtained.
