Changed name to the "Hooden on the Water" and was operating under that name around 2000, but now renamed to the "Riverside."

 

I am not at present intending on doing comprehensive research into the Ashford area, but during my research I have found reference to this pub, so have included it here.

As time allows and I find or are sent further information or pictures regarding this pub I will be adding further information to this page.

Your help is appreciated.

Ashford Invalid Objections to Licences.

At the adjourned licensing sessions, Ashford on Tuesday, objection was raised on the grounds of redundancy to the licences of the "Eight Bells" and "Smiths Arms," Ashford and the "Black Dog," Great Chart.

Mr. B. B. C. Drake contended that the objection was invalid on the ground that no written notice has been served on the licence holders as the Act required.

This was upheld by the Bench, and all three licences were renewed.
