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.

Kissane was fined £25 and ordered to pay £150 compensation.

A chase from Folkestone`s Harvey Hotel and the subsequent recovery of £96 from a gutter in nearby Queen Street was recalled at Folkestone Magistrates` Court last Friday.

Gareth Jordan, 18, admitted burglary, involving theft of cash. He was given a three month prison sentence, suspended for two years.

Inspector Ronald Young said a customer at the hotel chased Gordon and caught him. The money had come from a till.

The Court heard that Jordan was at present undergoing Borstal training for other offences.
