Edenbridge. A Traveler Fined.
At the Tunbridge Petty Sessions, on Tuesday last, Henry Jeffery pleaded
guilty to unlawfully, by falsely representing himself to be a traveler,
obtaining half a gallon of beer from Emma Nash, servant to Joseph
Leather, the licensee of the "Star Inn," Edenbridge, on the 2nd
September.
Miss Nash said she was the daughter of a former landlord at the
house, and she now managed the Inn for her uncle, who held the license.
At eleven o'clock on the night of the 2nd September (their closing time
being ten o'clock) the defendant came to the house, and said he was a
traveler from Tonbridge, and asked for half a gallon of beer. Believing
his statement she supplied him with the beer. She understood that a
traveler must at least be living three miles from the house.
P.C. Millen said that he saw the defendant leave the house with the
bottle. he asked him what he had, when he replied that he was entitled
to beer as he was a traveler. he took him back, when the witness said
that he told her he was a traveler, and she had not seen him about the
place since bank Holiday. he lived within ten or fifteen rods of the
house. The defendant said that he had been to Tonbridge that night, and
was under a misapprehension at the time,
The bench told the defendant that he must be careful that this did not
take place again. He should be fined 20s. and 10s. 8d., costs.

The historic Star Inn in Edenbridge could soon be demolished and
replaced with offices, flats and townhouses.
The planning application was validated by Sevenoaks District Council
earlier this month (December 7).
A planning application has been submitted to demolish an historic
pub in Edenbridge and replace it with offices, flats and townhouses
as the building is not worth the expense to restore it.
The building, situated on Edenbridge's High Street, is located in
the conservation area of the town and is thought to have been built
in the mid 1700s.
However, the street frontage was rebuilt in 1906 and the building
"has been extended considerably in a piecemeal fashion to the rear".
A report by chartered surveyors found that the building could not be
used commercially in its current state, and the cost of work
required to bring the building back to a usable standard would cost
around £220,000.
The report added: "Whilst contributing to the eclectic mix of
properties that form the street scene in this area, it is considered
that the building itself is no longer fit for habitation and would
cost too much to restore to the point of being usable again.
"Based on these assessments it is considered that the building no
longer has a viable use in its current form."
This bird's eye view shows how the proposed offices, flats and town
houses would fit in amongst the other buildings behind the High
Street.
The planning application was validated by Sevenoaks District Council
on December 7, and if approved will see The Star Inn knocked down
and replaced with a ground floor office with three one-bedroom
apartments and two two-bedroom apartments above towards the front of
the site.
There will also be two three-bedroom three storey town houses built
to the rear of the site, with parking for 10 cars including two
electric charging parking spaces.
Previous years saw The Star Inn operate as a pub, and then as an
eight-bedroom bed and breakfast, until it ceased trading in 2014.
Since then the building has fallen into disrepair, and much of its
metalwork including pipework and wiring was stolen.
It is hoped that by providing office space, the development will
allow an unusable plot on Edenbridge's High Street to be utilised
once more. |
