West Malling

 

From The Courier, 12 March, 1909.

THE "CRICKETER'S ARMS" AND THE "SPORTSMAN," WEST MALLING.

Mr. W. C. Cripps, who represented the brewers, Messrs. Leney, said his clients had come to the conclusion that the Bench had made a wise selection in regard to these two houses, and they would therefore not oppose the licenses being referred to the Quarter Sessions. He would therefore only ask for an ordinary provisional license on that occasion.

This was granted.

 

James Owen, Great Great Grandson of licensee James Buggs says he had heard tales of W. G. Grace playing on the then County ground of Town Malling. Further information is available on line regarding a County player named Pilch, running the attached pub. He was considered the best Kent player when Kent beat England by 2 runs.
