East Kent Times and Mail, Wednesday 26 February 1964.

For 30 years Mr. Harry Sutton has been pulling pints at the "Flying Horse" public house, Park Road, Ramsgate. On Sunday, he pulled his last pint and handed over the pumps to a new landlord.

Retired hosts Mr. and Mrs. Harry Sutton.

You could say that the "Flying Horse" was Mr. Suttons pub. He had the distinction of laying the first and the last bricks of the house and laying a penny under the last one.

On Sunday, all the regulars congregated at the pub to say farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Sutton and to barmaid Mrs. A. Belsey and her husband.

Mr. and Mrs. Sutton were presented with a silver tea service on an engraved tray and were also given a pair of silver flying horses. To Mrs. Belsay went a bouquet and chocolates. She has been barmaid at the pub for the past 20 years.

In retirement, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton will be living at Cliffsend and no doubt, Mr. Sutton will be able to devote more time to his favourite sport, bowling, in which he has played for Kent.

New landlord of the "Flying Horse" is Mr. Edward Munday who, for the past 12 years, has been landlord at the "Horsmonden" public house, near Tunbridge Wells.

"Harry and I grew up together and I always wanted this pub. When he told the brewery he was leaving they asked me if I still wanted the pub and I jumped at the chance. I'm glad to be able to come back to my hometown," he said.
