HYTHE. Sudden Death.
An inquest was held on Wednesday, before W. S. Smith, Esq., Coroner, on
the body of Colour-Sergeant James Campbell, Carlow Rifles. The deceased
was undergoing a course of rifle instruction at the School of Musketry.
On Tuesday he had been practising as usual; and returned to the
barracks, and after tea dressed for a walk. He called at the "Globe" for
a glass of beer, and was conversing with a comrade, when he was seized
with a fit of coughing. He stepped out at the door leading to the yard,
but directly he opened the door calling to his comrade, “Reid, Reid;"
the latter got to the door in time to catch him as he was falling, when
blood was issuing from his mouth, and he died instantly. The jury
returned a verdict of “Died by the visitation of God in a natural way."

HYTHE. A PUBLICAN’S SUICIDE.
Mr. Blaxland, the Borough coroner, on Thursday, held an enquiry into the
death of George Amos, of the “Globe Inn,” High Street. From the evidence
given by the widow. George William James (an officers servant), William Dorell (a corporal labourer), P.C. Thomas, and Dr. Davis, it appeared
that deceased was under notice to quit, he having recently been fined
for a breach of the licensing laws, and he became very despondent. About
4.30 on Thursday he got up, and going into his yard cut his throat with
a razor, death resulting from haemorrhage. Deceased had inflicted four
separate cuts upon himself. The jury returned a verdict of “Suicide
whilst of unsound mind.”

Shepherd Neame confirms closure of The Globe Inn, in Hythe.
Punters have expressed their sadness after a historic high street pub
shut its doors for the last time.
Shepherd Neame says popular The Globe Inn, in Hythe, "no longer fits
business needs" for the brewery.
A farewell party was held at the boozer - which dates back to the 1600s
- on Saturday night.
A sign has since been placed on the pub's door letting people know it is
"permanently closed".
Property director at Shepherd Neame, George Barnes, said: “We can
confirm that we have taken the decision to sell The Globe Inn, Hythe, as
it no longer fits our business needs.
"The pub is being sold as a licensed premises.”
The building is not yet on the market, but the brewery has appointed
Christie & Co as agents for The Globe.
The pub was known for its live music and events on Saturday nights.
Its website states: "The Globe Inn promises a warm welcome for all - but
never more so than on a Saturday night, when you’ll typically be greeted
by superb live music."
It also won the Shepherd Neame ‘Beer Hero’ prize in 2016.
A final goodbye to customers was held over the weekend, with a post on
the pub's Facebook page reading: "This will be the last music night at
The Globe Inn and our farewell party!"
Fans of the pub have reacted to the news online, expressing their dismay
at seeing yet another business close its doors.
One said: "This is so sad. It's the only place in Hythe that had live
bands."
Another said: "Another pub closing. It seems the great British pub
culture is going to be a thing of the past. Such a shame."
The Globe now joins a growing list of pubs and businesses being closed
or put on the market.
At the other end of Hythe high street, the "Butt Of Sherry" has been
listed on Rightmove.
As well as this, the landlord of the "Compasses" in Crundale, between
Ashford and Canterbury, decided it was time to call last orders.
Although their web site as of 2 Feb 2023 indicates
they are still opening at weekends. Paul Skelton.
"Bobbie's Bakehouse," in the old signal box at Folkestone Harbour, has
also closed. I believe this was a cafe. Paul
Skelton.
