In 1869-70 the pub was part of a consortium who were advertising their
goods of selling tea in response to grocers' selling beer and wine. (Click
for further details.)
I believe this has also been known as the "Old
Rose Inn."
Kentish Gazette 27 September 1864.
County Petty Sessions.
A spirit license was granted by the magistrates to Mr. Elias William
Hodgson, of the "Rose Inn," Sandgate. |
From an email received 4 February 2025.
Immediately prior to 1961 the
licensees of the "Rose Inn" were Jim and Betty McNaughton. They were Scots
and he was a former army RSM and although of short stature (as was she)
he was a seriously tough cookie. On their nights off they would drink in
the "Royal Oak" and fortunately were there on the only occasion some
rowdies got out of order. Jim had them under control and out of the door
before you knew it. They were also friendly with Jack Fieldsend of the
"Military Tavern" (which was a beer house) and who moved over the road to the
"Fleur de Lis" when that shut. The three of them used to drink in each
other's pubs and in the "Royal Oak."
