The Licensing Records of 1872 stated the pub held a Beer License and was owned by Mary Elizabeth Lock Beveridge of Ramsgate.

I am informed that the pub changed name to "Juddy's" date as yet unknown.

 

This pub is one in the list of my "Project 2014," and the research is still in its early stages.

As such I haven't found a picture of the pub, and 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.
