Thanet Times, Tuesday 27 April, 1965.
One of the few women licensees in Ramsgate.
One of the few women licensees in Ramsgate is
Mrs. Wroughton, at the "Vale Tavern," Vale Road.
Public houses have been a way of life for cheerful Mrs. Wroughton
ever since she was a child. Her parents were publicans in the London
area.
"In those days hate the life, mainly because I was so
restricted," said Mrs. Wroughton.
"But now I don't know what I would do without it. We have got
such a marvellous crowd of customers."
She added that she was a fully qualified secretary, but she could
not even contemplate going back to the job now.
Mrs. Wroughton moved to Thanet 35 years ago when her husband took
over the licence of the "Captain Digby" at Kingsgate.
They stayed there for more than 7 years before moving to the
"Prospect Inn" at Minster when it was first opened.
Moving again to take over the "Vale Tavern" in July 1948 Mrs.
Wroughton looked back over nearly 25 years in the same house and
said. "It is difficult to believe, but the time has gone so fast.
When Mrs. Wroughton and her husband took over the house, because
of the war, they were only 7,500 people in the town.
But the "Vale Tavern" she said, in the event of evacuation, was
to have been one of the eight houses to be kept open.
Mrs. Wroughton took over the licence of the "Vale Tavern" in her
own name in 1962 when a first husband died.
"Everybody was wonderful to me at the time," she said.
