This pub is one in the list of my "Project 2014."
I have not found a picture of the pub yet, and to date have no other
information. Local knowledge, further pictures, and licensee information
would be appreciated.
I will be adding the historical information when I find or are sent it,
but this project is a very big one, and I do not know when or where the
information will come from.
All emails are answered.

Sudden Death of an Infant.
An inquest was held on Saturday, at the "Rose," Mote-road, by T.
Kipping, Esq., on the body of an infant, 5 months old, who was found
dead in bed on Wednesday. The child was the daughter of a single
woman, Eliza Mason. She left the child on Wednesday morning in the
care of Elizabeth Freeman, a neighbour, about 9, and about 7 in the
evening she was sent for, when she found the child lying on the
table, dead. Mrs. Freeman had put the child to bed about 11 and went
to see it between 2 and 3, when she found it lying on its side, with
the face resting on the hand. She looked at the child again about 5,
when it was in the same position and appeared to be dead. She took
it down stairs, put the feet in warm water, and sent for Mr. Barham,
the surgeon. This gentleman attended, but the child was dead. By
direction of the coroner, he had made a post mortem examination of
the body. The stomach and bowels were perfectly healthy, and in the
stomach he found a spoonful and a half of fluid; but he found no
smell of opium or any other drug. He had no doubt death was caused
by congestion brought on by teething.
A verdict of "Natural Death" was returned.

Applications for New Licenses.
Mr. F. Hills, of the "Rose," Mote-road, also applied for a spirit
license, and produced a memorial, numerously signed by the
inhabitants in that neighbourhood, in support of it.
The magistrates then retired, and on their return into court the
Chairman said they had carefully considered the applications made to
them, and had decided upon granting the license to Mr. Hills. With
respect to the others they had decided upon refusing to grant them.
