Full Licence for "Railway Arch."

The removal of a full licence of the "Waterman's Arms," Milton, to the "Railway Arch," Sittingbourne - formally holding only a beer and wine licence - was agreed at the annual licensing sessions at Sittingbourne Magistrates Court on Monday.

Mr. D. A. I. Ardizzone, who appeared for Mr. William George Luckhurst, said that if the removal was granted it was intended to close the "Waterman's Arms."

The "Railway Arch" was licensed for the sale of beer and wines only. The trade of the "Waterman's Arms" had decreased because of a considerable amount of demolition in the area. There was no question of increasing the number of licensed premises in the area. Certain alterations to the "Railway Arch" were approved in July last year and these would make it a really first class house.
