YOUNG LICENSEE AT IDE HILL.

Norman Webster 1965

ONE of the youngest licensees in the Sevenoaks district, 27-year-old Mr. Norman Webster, formerly of "Longwood,” Sevenoaks Road, Borough Green, has taken over his first house tenancy at the "Crown" public house at Ide Hill.

Serving behind the bar will not be a new venture for Mr. Webster, however, as he has been a part-time barman for the past 15 months at the "Bullfinch," Riverhead, with the licensee. Mr. Arthur Cooke. A keen sportsman and gardener, Mr. Webster, a Charlton man was employed as a foreman sheet metal worker. "Mine host," in his new pursuit, will be assisted by his wife, Janet. They have a two-year-old
daughter, Karen.

Mr. A. V. Tyler Retires.

Watt Tyler

As Mr. Webster moved in on Friday, the "regulars" said good-bye to their friend over the past 14 years, Mr. A. V. Tyler, the retiring publican, who is moving to Aylesham, near Eastbourne.

A Buckinghamshire man, who left the police force when he moved to Ide Hill, Mr. Tyler and his wife became well-known in the village. He has served on the parish Church committee, and Mrs. Tyler was a keen member of the local Women’s Institute. They have two sons.

We join with their friends in wishing Mr. Webster every success in his new position, and Mr. Tyler happiness in his well-deserved retirement.

Photos kindly sent by Norman Webster.
