Summary
One of a series of newspaper cuttings - miscellaneous items of interest to the family. Newspaper cutting from - annotated 'pre 1910?' THE SHIREBROOK CASE. "The third time pays for all," and on the third time of asking Messrs F. H. and J. W. Moore have secured a provisional licence for the Market Hotel, Shirebrook. The grant has to be ratified by the Confirming Committee, and there is the possibility, says a Sheffield paper, that the promoters will abandon the position they have gained. The fact is, however, undeniable that the "startling figures" named by the Bench as the "monopoly value" of the new licence (£9,000), came as a severe shock to the applicants in the midst of their joy over the success of their application. ...........................................
