8 Conduit Street
Faversham
Conduit Street is now part of the Shepherd Neame brewery and as such have
made many changes to the area over the years. I do not believe that number 8
is still standing and therefore I have no photograph of the building.
However, it has been traced from between 1789 and 1939 at present, so
hopefully a photograph will come to light one day.

Kentish Gazette, 1 August 1820.
In the night of Thursday last, some villain broke into the "Red Lion"
public-house, on the Whitstable-road, by means of
forcing a window, and stole thereout a money-drawer, containing a £1
book bank note, a quantity of silver and some
half pence.
(I am not sure about whether this refers
to this pub. But I don't know of a "Red Lion" on a Whitstable Road.)

From the Faversham Times, Saturday 4 March 1939.
LICENSED HOUSE FOR SHELDWICH. FAVERSHAM LICENCE TRANSFERRED.
The Magistrates at the adjourned County Licensing Sessions, held at
the Guildhall, Faversham, yesterday (Thursday), approved an
application for the transfer of the license of the "Red Lion,"
Conduit Street, Faversham, to off-licence premises, occupied by Mr.
Edward Thomas Milgate, at Sheldwich.
Mr. A. K. Mowll, who had made the application, said that both
premises were owned my Messrs. Shepherd Neame Ltd. The off-licence at
Sheldwich had been in existence since 1870, and it was proposed that
Mr. Milgate should continue as the tenant if the application as
granted. The area to which it was proposed to transfer the licence
was one in which there was no licence at all at the moment. There
was no licensed house within a diameter of one mile. The police
raised no objection to the transfer, but two points had been very
properly raised by the Superintendent Hoare. One was whether the
shop should be entirely separated from the licensed premises. He
(Mr. Mowll) had consulted the applicant and Messrs. Shepherd Neame
Ltd., and they agreed with this, so what it was proposed to do was
to use the shop purely as a village shop for groceries, etc., so
that when children went in they would have no connection with the
licensed premises at all. To do this, it would be necessary to make
the entrance to the public bar on the opposite side, quite separate
from the shop. The only other objection raised by the
Superintendent was in connection with the present access, and the
Company were prepared to provide a path and do away with the
entrance by the steps. He (Mr. Mowll) therefore asked the
Magistrates to approve the plans, subject to the alterations he had
mentioned. In evidence, Mr. Milgate said he had held the off-licence
at Sheldwich for fourteen years, and carried on a general store.
There were 130 householders who used his house, and they were
unanimously of opinion that the licence was desired. His wife and
sister would look after the licensed premises, which would be
entirely separate.
Formal evidence as to notices of the application was given by Mr. E.
M. Edwards (Secretary of Messrs. Shepherd Neame, Ltd.) and Mr. Harry
Pover, architect, proved the plans of the premises, showing the
proposed alterations, and stated that there were no licensed
premises within a mile diameter. The distance from the "Red Lion,"
Conduit Street, to the off-licence in Sheldwich was 2 miles 6 1/4
furlongs.
The application was granted, and the amended plans approved. |
