LICENSES TRANSFERRED

Mr. Rutley Mowll appeared to make the application for the transfer of the licence of the "Ship Hotel," from Mr. Winnifrith to Mr. Newing, on account of his having been at the house less than nine months, the time limit imposed by the Bench. He said that at the time Mr. Winnifrith went in it was understood that the ownership was likely to change, and that the new brewers were likely to require a new tenant. That had turned out to be the case.

The Chief Constable said that Mr. Newing had been in Dover several years, and he had a good character.

The application as granted.

 

 

It had closed by 1907 but reopened and then continued to 1914, closing on 31 December that year. Flint received compensation of £314 and the freeholders, Dover Harbour Board, £10. The licence lapsed and the property became a private dwelling.
