The premises was only really a beer house, but the licensee took in
lodgers as is indicated in the 1881 census.
At one time it has also been referred to as the "Royal Oak."
The premises was situated on the north side of Greenstreet and was close
to the "Teynham Arms"
By 1921 the premises had changed into a bakers and confectionary, still
called the Rose by name and ran by a F. L. Clark and later purchased by Charles Frank Gambell
who also ran it as a bakery.
Later on in years the building operated as a wool shop run by a Miss
Smith then Nethercoats sweet shop and tea rooms. Later still Wicks General
Grocers, but today it has been converted into two houses.

INQUEST AT THE FAVERSHAM WORKHOUSE.
On Saturday last the Deputy
Coroner, Mr. C. B. Harris, held an inquest in the Board Room at the
Faversham Workhouse on the body of Charles Skinsley, a drover who died
on the previous Wednesday under somewhat distressing circumstances.- Mr. C. Whittle was chosen foreman of the jury.
Willis Symonds, a
bootmaker, residing at 41, East Street, Sittingbourne, deposed that he
had known the deceased for a great many years. He was a drover and
unable to do any laborious work on account of being badly ruptured. He
was a native of South Ockenden, Essex, and was usually known as Charles
Peace. He last saw deceased alive at Sittingbourne on the previous
Saturday night, when he was in his usual health.
Henry Pilcher,
landlord of the "Rose Inn," Greenstreet, said that on Sunday last deceased
came to his house and engaged lodgings. He was in a "mopsy" state
through the effects of drink, and went to bed between seven and eight
o'clock. He stayed in bed all day on Monday, and when he (witness) went
to rouse him all he said was "all right". On Tuesday morning, as
deceased appeared to be very unwell, witness sent for Dr. Selby, who gave
him a paper to take to Mr. Porter, the Relieving Officer. He had known
the deceased for 20 years, and he had always gone by the name of Charley
Peace. Witness believed deceased slept out in the open air on Saturday
night as he found him in the gutter in Teynham Lane about a quarter to
seven on Sunday morning.
Mr. Harry T. Porter, Relieving Officer, stated
that on the previous Tuesday the last witness brought him a note from
Dr. Selby to the effect that a man named Charles Peace was suffering from
tetanus, and that he should be removed to the Workhouse Infirmary at
once. Witness procured a cab and removed the man who although unable to
speak was not unconscious.
Nurse Togan, having given evidence as to
receiving the deceased into the Infirmary, Dr. Gange, Medical Officer of
the Workhouse, stated that on Tuesday afternoon the Master sent for him
stating that a man who had just been admitted into the House was dying
from tetanus. Witness found deceased in a comatose state. He could not
speak or put out his tongue, and he failed to understand anything.
Witness examined him and could not discern any signs of tetanus. He died
at about five o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. Witness made a careful
examination of the body and failed to find any bruises with the
exception of a slight place on the right elbow. He had since, with the
assistance of his son, made a post-mortem examination, and on opening
deceased's head found the brain very much congested. On the anterior
part of the brain there were two very large extravasations of blood. The
actual cause of death was apoplexy or congestion of the brain, and it
was no doubt accelerated by drink. He should say that the deceased was
from 50 to 55 years of age.
The jury returned a verdict in accordance
with the medical evidence.

THE ROSE, GREENSTREET, TEYNHAM.
In this case Mr. Roper appeared for the owners and tenants, and Mr. H.
Hohler represented the Licensing Justices.
Police Sergeant Nye of Ospringe, stated that the house was in close
proximity to other licensed houses. The population of the parish was
1,839 and there were six licenced houses. The "Rose" was in good
structural condition, but it appeared to do very little trade. In
witness's opinion there were too many licensed houses in the street.
Mr. Roper called James Medhurst, who stated that at the time the licence
was reported he was the tenant, but now his wife was the tenant. They
took in lodgers. The trade of the house included from two to two and a
half barrels week.
Stephen George, builder and registrar of births and deaths for the
district, gave the house a good character and said he thought it was
necessary for the needs of the district.
James Richard Post, hairdresser, of Teynham, stated he thought the house
was necessary.
The Bench granted the renewal of this license. |
