At first I thought this was also known as the "Union Flag" but now operating as the "Style and Winch." However, I believe the street must have been renumbered at some time as the licensee lists are different.

 

Maidstone Journal and Kentish Advertiser 22 April 1893.

MAIDSTONE POLICE COURT. THE TRANSFER OF THE "BULL AND SNUFFERS."

Mr. F. R. Howlett, addressing the Bench, said that a few weeks ago he attended the Court with reference to the transfer of the licence of the "Bull and Snuffers," Union-street, from a Mr. Wickens to George Larkinn, and then he understood that the late tenant, who had died, left no wife or relations. He had since ascertained that his wife was living in London, but he had not got her address, and so he asked for authority to hold the licence over till the next transfer day.

This was granted.

The licence of the "Huntsman" was temporarily transferred from Mr. George Larking to Mr. George Lipscombe, and that of the "Bull and Snuffers," Union-street, from Mr. John Wickins to Mr. George Larking, subject to the production of letters of administration.

Mr. Hoar applied for the transfer of the licence of the "Bull and Snuffers," Union-street, from William George Larkin, who had been convicted of an offence against the licensing laws, to George Foster Purcell. - Supt.
