Plough at Staple

The Plough Stood On The Spot Now Occupied by Rowan Close.

 

I don't know quite when this old pub disappeared. The Sign Above The Door Reads: The Plough, East Kent Brewery, and that brewery was brewing beer from about 1890 after taking over the Cliff's Archcliffe brewery in Dover. The latest I have seen reference to this pub to date, being 1941.

 

From the Dover Express and East Kent News, Friday, 4 March, 1904. Price 1d.

LICENSING MATTERS

An application was made by John Dove, the new tenant of the “Plough,” beer house, Stourmouth, for the renewal of the license.

Mr. R. E. M. M???? of Canterbury, appeared for the applicant.

Police Superintendent Chaney opposed the license on behalf of the Police.

The Bench retired to consider their verdict, and after an absence of a quarter of an hour, the Chairman said that the Bench had carefully considered the case, and decided to allow the application of John Dove, and the license would be renewed. He cautioned the applicant to see that the house was conducted in a proper way.

WINGHAM PETTY SESSIONS

OBJECTIONS TO PUBLIC HOUSE LICENCES

Mr. Rutley Mowll applied for the renewal of the license of the "Endeavour," Shatterling, Staple, owners Thompson and Sons, Walmer.

Mr. Mowll said his plea was for the "Roadside House." It was a reasonable place for refreshment, being at the top of a hill.

Another house at Staple, the "Plough" was considered at the same time, Mr. M????? appearing for Ash's East Kent Brewery Co., the house having been in the hands of the same family for 20 years.

Both licenses were referred.
