The former Rose Inn. Picture taken in 1993. |
Not to be confused with the pub with the same name just a few miles away
at Church Whitfield. See "Rose
Inn" Church Whitfield.
The premises is now a farm called Old Rose Farm and is a private estate.
The resident, A. J. Powers tells me (2011) that the tree shown in the
picture above was cut down in 2001 and there is now a detached garage in its
place.

TRANSFER
Mr. Vernon Knocker said that with reference to the “Rose,” of West
Langdon, notice had been given that it should be a fully licensed beer
house, but owing to some fault in that notice he had advised his client
to withdraw the application for the present. He asked that the house
might be transferred to George Drew, formerly of the Royal Marines. The
widow was not in occupation.
The magistrates granted the request.

From an email received 7 April 2011.
David Harvey kindly emailed me
with the following information:-
Isaac James Harvey, one of the licensees, was my grandfather. He
moved into the pub in 1900 but I do not have the exact date. He left on
17th October, 1929 when the licence was taken over by 'Mr. Philpott'.
Though I cannot be certain, I believe this was Fred Philpott shown in
your list. I have the original statement of the transfer which show the
fittings and stock to have been worth £38. 8s. 11d. After expenses, my
grandfather received £31. 1. 8d. One of the deductions was licence 4s.
0d. which might have referred to the first 16 days of October prior to
the transfer.
David Harvey.
