Tuesday 7th February 1905 - Licence renewal referred to session to be
held 7th March 1905 on the grounds that the house was redundant and
unnecessary.
7th March 1905 - Average trade over the previous five years given as 175
barrels of beer and 113 gallons of spirits. It was said that the tenant
had embarked the whole of his capital in the house and was entitled to a
fair consideration.
The Bench agreed to renew the licence on condition that at the 1906
sessions, Messrs. Youngs would not oppose referral of the
LEATHER BOTTLE
licence to the Licensing Committee. The brewers agreed to make no
technical objections. The licence was renewed.

the Goat was 44 yards from the Green Dragon, 60 yards from the Griffin,
111 yards from the White Hart, 145 yards from the Two Brewers, 260 yards
from the King's Head and the Cross Keys, 272 yards from the George &
Dragon, 295 yards from the Queen's Head and 277 yards from the Sun.
Trade for the last three years had averaged 98 barrels of beer, 217
dozen bottles of beer, 26 gallons of spirits, 2 dozen bottles of wine,
and 63 gallons of cider. After the costs of rent, rates, licence, fire
and lighting, the tenant would have an average net profit of £95 a year.
Since 1926, the brewers had spent about £500 on the house.
The Bench referred the house for closure by compensation.
Closed before 1930.
