Heanor Pubs, clubs and beerhouses
replied on: 3/11/2006 11:18:43 AM Gregory's Restaurant is one that I hadn't heard of before- KELLYS DIRECTORY 1912 shows HENRY W GREGORY-Refreshment Rooms Market Place Heanor. Possibly this was licensed and was Gregory's restaurant. Found this too: R&H 24 Oct 1913 "An application was made for the final transfer of the licence of the dining rooms, Market Place,Heanor, from Henry William Gregory to James Sylvestor Tillson. Superintendant Walker stated that before the licence was transferred he would like one point settling-as to what "solid food" means.In the licence it was included that intoxicating drinks should only be sold when solid food was sold. He found that drink was being supplied with a biscuit, and he wanted the Bench to state what their intentions were in regard to it. The chairman Mr J.J.A.Wooley, on behalf of the Bench, asked the applicant if he thoroughly understood what the granting of the licence would mean. Intoxicating drinks must only be sold with solid food, otherwise he would be liable to lose the licence at the forthcoming Brewers sessions. The applicant asked what about ham sandwiches. The Chairman "Well, that would be solid food" The licence was only granted on this understanding." Found this report(not concerning Gregorys) R&H 17 Feb 1911 "At the annual Brewster sessions at Heanor on Monday before messrs J.J.A.Wooley(chairman) and A.B.Frost,J.K.Fletcher,W.Hardy,H.H.Smith and W.Holmes. Superintendant Daybell submitted his annual report, in which he stated that there were in the district 60 full licenses, 30 Beer Houses, and 30 beer-off licenses, which was one less than last year.Fourteen full licenses had been transferred, against four last year, and four beer houses against five last year, and four beer off licenses against three last year. No convictions against any license holder had been recorded during the year.There had been 115 people convicted for drunkeness against 123 last year,being a decrease of eight.The population of this portion of the division, based on the 1901 census, was 31,220 and for the whole of the division 63,178, but this was much below the estimated population at the present time. The average population per each license was 242.2, for the whole of the division 259.4 and for the whole of the country 271. The convictions for drunkeness per 1000 of the population numbered 5.2.The houses in the division had been fairly well conducted, and he had received no reports against any of them.There were three registered clubs- two at Heanor and one at Codnor Park. The Chairman on behalf of the bench said the report was very satisfactory. They saw the report submitted at Ilkeston showing an increase for the whole of the division, but it was pionted out that this was owing to the elections.The Heanor increase was just a trifle more, but in all other places just a little less They were pleasedto note that no license holders had been convicted, which was a good sign.Superintendant Daybell said the chairman of the Ilkeston branch was quitesatisfied. There were threelicensed houses the people flocked to during the elections. There was a great amount of excitement, perhaps on the part of some to celebrate the victory and perhaps on the part of some to drown their sorrows (laughter). The Chairman said that with the exception of the White Hart and the New Inn Heanor, all the licenses would be renewed; billiard and music licenses would be granted." So in 1911 the only 2 registered clubs in Heanor would be the Conservative and the Liberal Club - which may answer Iceboy's query from Sept 2005??? |
