LICENSING SESSION.
An application for Mr. Brown, solicitor, on behalf of Mr. Greenland,
landlord of the "Brickmaker's Arms," Mill Road, for an on-license in
place of the existing off-license, was refused.
|
There is mention of this pub in the Deal Licensing Records stating
that the premises held only a Beer Off-licence in 1882. However, in 1903,
they reported that it held a Beer On-licence.
Title deeds from Mackeson and Co. suggest the building was built around
1885 by a Mr. G. H. Denne of Deal and sold to G. H. C. Stapleton of
Sandwich, but only purchased by Mackeson and Co. in 1935 from Jude, Hanbury
and Co.
The pub was serving Fremlins in 1974
and according to the 1992 sign, Whitbread beers. I believe it is now a
freehouse.
Unfortunately closed.

ON FILE
100 years: The Mercury reported in 1902 that on Saturday
evening a dinner was given at the Brickmakers' Arms in Deal to celebrate
the extension of the premises, some 39 of the men employed in the
brickfields partaking of the landlord's hospitality.
Mr George Rice occupied the chair and Mr Walter Sivers the
vice-chair, a very enjoyable evening being spent by all present.

END OF AN ERA AS TIME CALLED AT THE OLD BRICKMAKERS.
A PUB on a corner close to Victoria Park, Deal, has closed its doors
for the final time, ending an era going back almost 130 years.
The "Brickmakers Arms" in Mill Road was constructed in 1882 by local
builder George Henry Denne before being sold on to George Henry Cotton
Stapleton, a brewer from Sandwich.
It opened for business in 1883 and was so-called since it was
surrounded by 'brickfields'. Although originally only licensed to sell
beer to be drunk off the premises, its first proprietor William Wyborn
was charged with allowing beer to be consumed inside, swiftly followed
by Mrs Gunnor who was also fined "for allowing intoxicating liquor to be
drunk on the premises whilst only having an off-licence".
In June 1899, the East Kent Brewery bought the pub. The same year
John Batt Annall, a retired police officer, was installed as landlord
and the licence was changed in order to allow the consumption of beer
on, as well as off, the premises.
By 1903 Nathan Everett was in charge, followed by R. T. Wakerell in
1911. He had previously been landlord of the Lifeboat in Walmer, which
had just closed. Wakerell remained at the Brickmakers until at least
1916.
The pub was later owned by brewers including Jude Hanbury & Co,
Fremlins and Mackeson. It was granted a wine licence in 1948, followed
by a full licence in 1950.
Ernie Kemp, a former boxer and ex-miner, was a longstanding landlord,
from January 1953 until December 1976. Cricketer Freddie Trueman, was an
occasional customer when he used to call in to visit his old friend
Ernie when playing at Canterbury.
Later landlords included Martin Burgess in 1979, followed by Malcolm
Formoy and former miner Alan Garton in 1991 until 2001.
Punch Taverns closed the pub down recently, and the building is being
converted into residential accommodation.

FEATURED PROPERTY £264,995
Jenkinson Estates
Situated on the corner of Park Avenue and overlooking Victoria Park.
Constructed in 1882 by George Denne this lovely period properly was
originally open in 1883 as the "Brickmaker's Arms," so called as the
property was surrounded by brickfields. After nearly 130 years and a few
last orders this former public house has been converted into a simply
stunning modern home. This conversion has been carried out to a very
high specification and the end product is one that provides a very
modern contemporary open plan style home. The property almost has a loft
style appeal and with every effort being made to make the best use of
the space. The ground floor is just a wash of light from the six windows
that take in the views of Victoria Park, the dining area opens into the
well appointed kitchen. Four good size bedrooms and a family bathroom.
This is a very special home and a property that has been converted to a
high standard which now offers the new owners a chance to own part of
Deal's history.
