 Star and Garter

Latest 1940

8 Pikes 1924 and formerly 13 Trevanion Street

 

I have found mention of another "Star and Garter" dating 1758 and mentioned as being in Great Street. At present I am unsure where Great Street was. The above pub being mentioned as early as 1758 suggests that it could not be this one as previous to this name and by 1847 it was the "Waterman's Arms." However, there is nothing to suggest that pubs cannot change back to their original name.

 

Barry's research states:- This was an outlet of "Gillow and Wareham" which was revealed to me only once. They were brewing prior to 1872. It had previously been the "Waterman's Arms" but between times had been utilised as a private dwelling before opening under this sign. That would have been before 1868. Gillow also owned 49 Clarendon Place and in 1881 would have liked to transfer this licence there. He was prevented from doing so.

 

From the Dover Express and East Kent News, Friday, 24 December, 1869.

A PUBLICAN'S FRIENDS.

Mr. Solly, the landlord of a public-house, applied to the Magistrates to be informed whether he was prohibited from having his friends to see him during the prohibited hours on a Sunday.

The Magistrates told him they supposed the landlord of a public-house was entitled to receive his friends when he pleased, like other people.

Mr. Solly then explained that on the previous day Sergeant Barton had entered his house by a back door and had complained that a friend of his was there in contravention to his license.

The Magistrates asked if there was any report against Mr. Solly.

Superintendent Coram said there was no report in this instance, although Mr. Solly had been previously convicted against for infringing his license.

The Magistrates addressing Mr. Solly, informed him that he had better read his license, which would give him full information on the subject. When a report was made against him, they would deal with it in its merits.

 

 

By 1940 it retailed for Fremlin when I presume it would have closed. Permission to remedy war damage was refused in 1947 and if the house was still standing in October 1958, it would have disappeared then. That year, the demolition of all remaining buildings in the area was authorised. The task was performed about May 1960 but Trevanion House itself survived for probably another six years.
