White Horse, Chesterton
17 April 1903
Brewers Lacon and Co appealed against the refusal to renew the licence of the White Horse, Chesterton. The house was of good repute and considerable size and did a good trade. It was the best of the firm’s houses in the district. There were some cottages situated at the back of the property, and though there was no suggestion of secret drinking, the cottages gave facilities for it. Magistrates wanted an undertaking either to have the cottages fenced off or not used for human habitation. They could be turned into stables or something of the sort. Gates had already been put across the entrances so that anyone could not get to the public house from the cottages. The appeal was allowed.
