Hotels on Woking Heath

[Muffin41]

Thank you both for the additional details

The Friary Brewery Co. had a Depot at Guildford - the best beer in the area!

Can you say who were the Licensees in 1851 and 1861?

I see that the K...d Arms was a Friary pub 

It isn't that easy finding them earlier,  I have tried 'High Street'  but that brings up Old Woking and not Woking 'town'.

Most of the entries I have given you have other occupants with them but I assume you just wanted the landlords

Thank you again Rosie

Woking: Town was not really used before the mid 1880īs and Woking village became Old Woking which makes the early researches harder than now.

Yes Rosie the K. Arms was a Friary house in my youth. The brewery has been swallowed as well but the Pub was still there in 2009.

Nov 1865, Henry Forester of the "Railway Hotel" Woking was fined "1 18s 6d for "Short Measures".

In July 1867, named as "Henry Foster, Landlord"

Dec 1864, the transfer of the license of the Railway Hotel was endorsed ad interim to Mr George Nuthall

Thank you for the update.

It seems that the Railway Hotels landlord changed often in the early years.

The Albion Hotel was built by Reuben Percy, he would have been related to John Percy of Feltham, the licensee in 1871
