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.

 

Maidstone Journal and Kentish Advertiser, Tuesday 6 September 1853.

This being the annual licensing day, the following applications for licences to beer-shops were made, but refused.

The "Wagon," at Gillingham. On this licence being renewed the Bench cautioned the landlady's daughter, who appeared for her, as to the manner in which the house was conducted in future, as there had been frequent complaints, and it was a disgrace to the neighbourhood.

All the old licences were renewed.

 

Southeastern Gazette, 30 August 1853.

Friday. (Before the Rev. G. Davies, W. M. Smith, Esq., M.P., J. Smith, Esq., and Major Boys.)

Sarah Howes, widow, landlady of the "Waggon" public-house, Gillingham, was charged with having, on Sunday, the 21st inst., kept her house open during the hours of divine service, otherwise than for the reception of travellers.

Mr. Stephenson attended on behalf of the defendant.

Sarah Eliza Chambers, wife of William Chambers, stated that on the morning in question her husband being from home, she went to the "Waggon," and there saw him in the tap-room in company with four or five other men, and on his coming home he was admitted.

William Chambers was also called as a witness, and he and that having had three pints of porter there during the morning, he afterwards went and laid down in the brick-fields.

The Court convicted the defendant in a fine of £5, and £1 costs, and said that if such a matter was ever brought before them again they would inflict the full penalty of £10.
