replied on: 9/28/2005 7:49:29 PM Hi, I've not found anything about the Admiral Rodney, but I found this the year after: Ripley and Heanor News 13th March 1914 HEANOR CROWN INN DOOMED Mr. Huish (magistrate’s clerk) informed the Bench that at the general annual licensing meeting a month ago the Justices gave instructions that Mrs Lomax, the licensee of the Crown Inn, attend that day, when they would consider the question of the renewal of her licence. The usual notices had been given and admitted, and the grounds mentioned in the notices of objections were that the licence was not required to meet the needs of the public of Heanor in this particular locality. If the bench decided to refer the house, they would have to give a report to the authority at Derby. Mr. F. G. Robinson represented the licensee and Mr. F. Burgis represented the Notts and Derbyshire Tramways Co. Supt. Walker expressed the opinion that the licence was not necessary in the interest of the public, and that the present structural condition of the house was not suitable. Mr. Robinson formally objected to the licence being referred, as it meant that his client would lose her livelihood. Mr. Burgis assured Mr. Robinson that the tenant’s rights would be quite unprejudiced by any proceedings in court that day. So far as his (Mr. Burgis’s) clients were concerned, they would bow to the decision of the bench, and try to make the best of a bad job. Sir William Smith, in intimating that the licence would be referred, said they had taken notice of what Mr. Burgis had said – that Mrs Lomax should be allowed generous consideration at the hands of the Tramways Company.
