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.

Raglan 1930s



Folkestone Herald 6-5-1933

Obituary

The death of Mr. H.G. Twigg, of the Raglan Hotel, Dover Road, at his residence on Friday evening of last week, was learnt with deep regret by members of the licensed trade.

“Bert” Twigg, as he was familiarly known, was 61 years of age, and had held a licence during the past 13 years. He had been in ill-health for the past two years, and had undergone several operations at the Royal Victoria Hospital. At one time he appeared to have recovered, but after a relapse he did not regain good health.

He was of an exceedingly jovial disposition, and was a striking figure. He served with the Middlesex Regiment (Territorial Army) for a number of years, reaching the rank of Sergeant Major, and being awarded the Long Service decoration. In the trade he was an energetic worker, and a popular member of the Folkestone and District Licensed Victuallers` Association. He was a member of the committee for a number of years, and at one time was Chairman of the Association.

The deepest sympathy is extended to the widow and son in their sad bereavement.

The funeral took place at Canterbury on Monday.
