Believed to have stopped being a beer house around WW1. Afterwards the premises became a garage business and the above picture in 2009 still shows a petrol station on the left, and still in the Oliver family.

The building is now called "Hillcrest."

 

As the information is found or sent to me, including photographs, it will be shown here.

At the annual licensing sessions for the Ashford petty sessional division held on Tuesday Superintendent Jones submitted his report which showed that there had been a decrease of two ale-houses mid two sweet licences. Twenty-five persons had been proceeded against on charges of drunkenness, a decrease of nine persons (eight residents, and one non-resident), as compared with the last twelve months. The Chairman (Captain Down) said all the licences would be renewed with the exception of the "Royal Oak," Ashford, the "OId English Gentleman," Ashford, and the "White Horse," Egerton, on the grounds of redundancy.
