Seven Stars

Hardres Street, Gas Works End. Among those who has remarkable escapes was Mr F J Pike. He was standing outside his premises, and attempted to get in as the raid commenced. The blast of a bomb which fell in the vicinity knocked him into the corner of the vestibule of his premises in Hardres Street. Practically the whole of his workshops were wrecked, but although Mr Pike was smothered in glass splinters, he was unhurt. Three of his employees, Messrs F Sherrington, Ron Ford and Ken Amos saved their lives by flinging themselves into the boiler room, while Mr Sherrington, senr., escaped by lying at full length in an alley at the rear of the premises. Seriously injured was Lewis Goodman, of the "Seven Stars" Public House which is shown as the building on the left. (Above info taken from http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/1940/id3.htm

Thanet Advertiser, Saturday 1 September 1883.

Frederick Livermore was summoned for being drunk on the licensed premises of the "Seven Stars Inn" kept by George Bax, on the 22nd instant.

Defendant pleaded not guilty.

P.C. Reynolds said he saw the defendant, who was drunk, go into the public house named at 4:30 p.m. on the day in question. He called the landlady's attention to the defendant's condition, and she said that she would not serve him.

Defendant denied that he was on the premises, and said that Reynold stopped him at the door.

Superintendent Buss said he would ask for an adjournment, in order that he might call two other witnesses.

Defendant said he did not wish for that so he might as well have the matter settled at once.

The Bench then inflicted a fine of 1s. and 10s. costs, or 7 days.
