The "Spread Eagle" was the scene of a fracas many years ago, when the
town Bellman, at the instigation of her husband John, publicly proclaimed
the debts contracted by Mary Ann Pettitt outside the inn. Unfortunately for
the ‘crier' Mrs Pettitt and her friends were enjoying a drink within, and on
hearing the unwelcome proclamation they rushed out en masse and proceeded to
beat the daylights out of the bellman, who had to run for his life.

From The Advertiser, Saturday 1 March, 1873.
MARGATE INQUEST.
An inquest was held on Monday last, at the "Spread Eagle Inn," on
the body of a child named Alfred Bennington, aged one and a half
years, whose parents reside in Victoria Road.
On the 7th inst., the mother was making some soup while the child
was sitting in front of the fire, and the saucepan being
accidentally upset, the boiling soup went over the child and scalded
it in a very shocking manner.
Dr. Treves was sent for, and he attended promptly to its sufferings,
but the poor little thing gradually sank, and expired on Sunday
last.
The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death." |

Thanet Times, Tuesday 14 February 1978.
Alone in the Pub with no Licence.
Reopening scotched in a last minute bar.
A Margate public house which should have reopened on Friday after a
£20,000 refit has had to lock its doors to customers.
Only hours before the "Spread Eagle" pub in Victoria Road, Margate, was
due to open, rival publicans put in an objection to the licence.
Mr. Barnard Phillips and his wife Daphine reading a congratulatory
telegram at their pub at the weekend.
Its new owner, Mr. Bernard Phillips, said he spent £20,000 preparing for
the opening and the drinks were ready to flow when he heard that the
Licensed Victuallers Association had objected to his licence.
He said the association had 21 days with pill and chose the last day to
do so.
"It is too bad of them to leave it until the last minute," he said.
"They don't like it because they missed a good opportunity and I bought
and redecorated the pub and turned it into a Free House," he claimed.
Mr. Phillips (40), who has managed other pubs in Kent with his wife
Delphine, bought the "Spread Eagle" in October. It was previously owned
by Whitbread's, who were advised to sell in 1971 by the monopolies
commission because the brewery had too many pubs in the area.
Mr. Peter Cook, press officer for the L.V.A., said the appeal was not
lodged earlier because the association took legal advice and considered
the matter carefully before deciding to object.
"We have nothing against the gentleman at all," he said.
"We never make objections on personal grounds. It is the relicensing of
the "Spread Eagle" we are appealing against.
"Our reasons will come out in court."
