Maidstone Telegraph 29 September 1866.
PETTY SESSIONS. APPLICATIONS JOB SPIRIT LICENCES.
There were no less than six applications from beer sellers for spirit
licenses.
.....
Mr K. J. Farrant applied personally for a license to his house, the "Phoenix
Concert Hall," Sandling-road. Mr T. Goodwin opposed the application on the
part of the landlady of the "Grasshopper Inn," and on the part of the
landlord of the "New Inn." The application of Mr Farrant was supported by a
memorial from the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, testifying to the
orderly manner in which the house was conducted.
The magistrates then retired to consult in private upon the implications,
and upon their return the Mayor said that they had decided upon granting the
license to the "Greyhound," Scrubs-lane, only.

From an email received, 5 March 2015.
I believe that
my ancestor may well have run the pub at one point. His name was Albert
Binskin. The reason I think he ran the pub (briefly) was because his
daughter, Dorothy (my great-grandmother), was born at the "Phoenix,"
Sandling Road in March 1898. On Dorothy's birth certificate, Albert's
occupation is Licensed Victualler. The address given for informant
(Dorothy's mother) was also the "Phoenix." The reason I believe it might
have only have been a brief period is because Albert had a daughter born
in January 1897 at a different address and he had moved by the time of
the census on 31 March 1901.
Albert's father (Thomas Binskin) was the owner of the "Victory Inn,"
Barming, for many years.
Thanking you for any help you can provide.
Kind regards
Kevin Grubb. |
