Tucked away in one of the narrow and crooked streets of Old Folkestone is a small and unpretentious hostelry, known as the George III Inn. This was known whilst Folkestone was yet a fishing village, where “the forefathers of the hamlet” were wont to meet and enjoy a game of cribbage, whist, all fives, or similar card games.

The last tenant of the George III was Mr. H. Cork, known far and wide as the genial and energetic Secretary of the Folkestone and District Licensed Victuallers` Association. Mr. Cork`s father was proprietor for many years before the house was taken over by his son. Mr. Cork has now left the old house in Fenchurch Street to take over another ancient Folkestone Inn, known as the Red Cow, at Foord.

Before their departure from the George III, Mr. and Mrs. Cork were the recipients of a handsome parting gift. It took the form of a beautiful inlaid mahogany clock striking the Westminster chimes. The inscription on the clock sets forth in simple and eloquent terms the reason for the gift as follows:- Presented to Mr. and Mrs. H. Cork, George III, Folkestone, from customers and friends, as a mark of esteem and appreciation. January, 1930.

Those who have the pleasure of the acquaintance of Mr. Cork and his wife will wish them both all success in their new venture.
