At the 1908 Sessions it was reported that the house was difficult for the police to
supervise and that there were 13 other licensed houses within 200 yards. The tenant was
irregularly employed in the boot trade. A number of rooms were let to lodgers. There had
been complaints of singing and shouting carrying on at 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning and
it was impossible for the police to tell if the commotion was caused by bona fide loafers
or others. The house was frequented by poachers and low class customers.
For the tenant it was said that the best was done to conduct the house properly. The house
was largely used as a lodging house, and was of a character a little superior to that of a
common lodging house. The tenant said that shelter was often given to `broken down
gentlemen' which caused some amusement in the court. He said that he had lived exclusively
on the premises for the previous 7 months.
The licence was renewed.
Licence provisionally refused 09.02.1937 and referred to Compensation.
Closed under Compensation 31.12.1937 |
