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.

Local News

Henry Neill, a sailor stationed at Dover, was fined £1 with 3/6 costs, at Folkestone Magistrates’ Court last Friday for causing wilful damage to a menu board, the property of Mr. L. Slade, of the Jubilee Inn.

Mrs. Ellen Slade said she saw defendant come into the public bar with two other men. They all appeared the worse for drink; she refused to serve them, and they then each bought a roll.

Two of the men ate their rolls, but defendant picked his up and threw it at her. He then left the bar, and as he went out she saw him raise his fist and smash the glass of a menu board.

P.C. Richardson said he asked defendant for his name and ship seven times, but he would not Rive it. He finally gave the information when taken to the Police Station.
