SEVENOAKS BREWSTER SESSIONS.

With regard to the renewal of licenses, the Bench had decided to renew them all, with the exception of the "Horns" and the "Crown" at Otford, and the "Broom Inn," Seal Chart. These would be put back till the adjourned licensing meeting, which would be held on March 10th.

 

 

The Horns was originally a Page and Overton, Shirley Brewery, house. In 1929 Page and Overton was acquired by Hoare's Red Lion Brewery, of Smithfield, London E1 and their pubs were liveried to show both breweries' names/identities. In 1933, Charrington's Anchor Brewery, Mile End Road, London E1 acquired Hoare's (Britain's oldest brewery) and closed it down in 1934. However, Charrington's adopted their Toby Jug trademark and used it until the Anchor Brewery shut in the mid-1970s. Page & Overton houses were still supplied by the Shirley Brewery until 1954 when Charrington's closed it down.
