Unfortunately closed in 2005, and in March 2003 part of the premises operated as a pizza delivery service.

Planning permission was applied for 4th December 2007 to change this premises into a day nursery. However, the decision was refused for the following reason:- The applicant has not demonstrated that the site has been adequately marketed for the purposes of a public house; therefore this proposal could seriously prejudice the economic and social facilities within the village of Aylesham. Therefore the proposal is contrary to policy SP11 of the Dover District Local Plan.

WINGHAM PETTY SESSIONS

In contrast to their seven hour sitting at Dover a fortnight ago, business on Thursday at Wingham Petty Sessions, apart from income tax and maintenance defaulters was confined to two small cases. The Magistrates ordered an adjournment until 15th June in the case of Charles Jaynes, of "The Grayhound," Aylesham, summoned for leaving his car in the centre of a road and with no rear light, and an absolute discharge for Bmdr. William Thompson, of 6c, Old Broadlees M.Q., Guston, summoned for keeping a dog without a licence.

Not Licensed for Dancing.

Snowdown Masked Ball Problem.

When Charles Jaynes, of the "Greyhound," Aylesham applied at Wingham Petty Sessions at Dover yesterday for an occasional licence to sell liquor at Snowdown Restaurant on June 9th at a masked ball there, the Chairman (Mr. T. G. Elphinstone) pointed out that the restaurant was not, in fact, licensed for dancing.

Jaynes: No, I know it's not, but they do have dancing there.

Remarking that it was no concern to the Bench yet, because no offence had then been committed, the Chairman announced the Magistrates' decision to grant the application until 10 p.m.
