APPLICATIONS FOR LICENSEES.

Mr. Dell, of the "Old George," Globe Lane, Chatham, who was not in attendance when the general licenses were granted, was reprimanded by the Bench; he had recently been informed against for having his house open at unlawful hours on a Sunday; if it occurred again, the next application for a license might be refused.

I remember this pub well from my childhood days. My mum and dad used to help out there and I remember being allowed to pedal the piano to make it play music. I remember they had a dog that would catch the bottle tops. My dad is a distant cousin of Richard Wraith. We didn’t know that at the time.
