1872 - Morning Advertiser 29 March 1872: Newington Licencing - Henry Plimmer,
Champion Hill Railway Hotel, Grove Vale � in this case the application was
for a victualler�s licence of for the removal of the wine and beer licence
from the Cherry Tree, Grove Vale, to the Champion Hill Railway Hotel. The
chairman said the former part of this application would not be granted. As
to the removal of the existing wine and beer licence there was some little
irregularity in the notices; but still the new house was a very superior
one, and, therefore, this part of the application would be granted *
