LICENSING DAY.

The licenses of the public houses in the Ashford division were renewed. The following new licenses were applied for:—

....

Mr. Delasaux, solicitor, Canterbury, applied for a license for the "Victoria Arms" beershop, Appledore, kept by James Everton. The application was opposed by the landlord of the "Lion Inn," Appledore.

....

The Bench retired to consider the applications, and on returning into Court announced that they had decided to refuse all of them with the exception of that for the "Man of Kent." Ashford, kept by William Richard Brown, and for that house they had decided to grant a license.

I am informed that the pub ceased trading in 1996 and was sold with its license still in place but planning permission was sought in 1998 for demolition and the erection of 4 houses with attached garages, and this took place in June 1999 and completed in 2001.
