Heanor Pubs, clubs and beerhouses replied on: 3/10/2006 11:12:26 PM R&H 8th March 1911 TWO HEANOR LICENSED HOUSES REFERRED FOR COMPENSATION "Objections were made to the removal of the license of the Old White Hart, Heanor, on the grounds that the house is not required to meet the demands of the public. Mr Huish, the magistrate's clerk, stated that a fortnight ago the bench directed him to take such steps as were necessary to notify the owners of the White Hart and also the New Inn that the question of the renewal of their licenses would come on that day, and notices had been served.The facts were precisely the same as when the licenses were objected to on previous occasions. Inspector Stone stated that the population to each licensed house in HeanorUrban District was 259.4.There were 42 licensed houses in the district. The King of Prussia Hotel was only51 yards away, Gregory's Restaurant 132 yards, Rays Arms 429 yards,Red Lion Hotel 380 yards, the Butchers Arms 700 yards,the Queens Head 1000 yards,the Conservative Club 57 yards and the Liberal Club 192 yards. This house, which was a tied one, belonged to Messrs Alton and Co; amalgamated with Strettons. Inspector Stone also gave particulars of the rent and the business done by the house.The houses in this area were excessive and for the general public were not necessary. Mr Charles Walton,secretary to Alton's Brewery,appeared, and asked for the renewal of the license for the house, and said this was the fifth time the house had been before them. If anything the population of the disrict was increasing. The Bench, however, decided to refer the house to the licensing compensation authority. In the meantime the license would be provisionally renewed Objection was also made to the renewal of the license of the New Inn, and Inspector Stone gave similar evidence. Other houses near were as follows:The Jolly Colliers 44 yards, a beer off 64, Nottingham House 132,Nag's Head 172 and Cross Keys 224. Mr Berryman of Nottingham represented Messrs Hutchinson and Co and remarked that there was no necessity to oppose the renewal of the license.The Bench decided to refer the license to the county authority."
