Book excerpt: On Monday, 4 February 1734, Walter Plummer MP told the House of Commonshe had recently been in Suffolk where smugglers went about in such formidablebodies, that if something was not done to put a stop to them: `they might soonthreaten danger even to the Government¿. He went on to say he had often metthem in gangs of forty or fifty together, all so well mounted, that even theDragoons `could not come up with them¿.In English maritime counties the nerve centre of smuggling operations waspredominantly the local pub. It was here that plots were hatched, arrangementsfor transportation agreed and runs commissioned.

Download or read book Isle of Wight Smuggers' Pubs written by Terry Townsend and published by PiXZ Books. This book was released on 2016-07-05 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smuggling, although always illegal, was a major trading activity in the eighteenth and early nineteenth century. This `delicious deception¿ was an activity inhabitants of the Isle of Wight engaged in with enthusiasm. The Island¿s prominent smuggling role can be largely attributed to its offshore location with its sheltered coves and sandy beaches. Much of the contraband shipped by Island smugglers was destined for mainland customers. The Island became a natural forward base for traffic to and from the continent. Separated from the mainland by The Solent, this diamond shaped landmass was a natural gift to the `free traders¿ and developed into a main dumping depot where contraband purchased in Northern France and the Channel Islands could be stockpiled reasonably safely. The nerve centre of smuggling operations was predominantly the local pub, where plots were hatched, arrangements for transportation agreed and runs commissioned. The smugglers¿ pub served as a meeting place, recruitment centre, secret storage facility, distribution depot and valued customer. This copiously illustrated guide features a significant number of authentic pubs patronised over two centuries ago by Isle of Wight smugglers. These wonderful old buildings with their low-beamed ceilings, flagstone floors, inglenook fireplaces and secret hiding places are where, with a little imagination, one can sense the desperate days of smuggling¿s golden era.

Download or read book East Sussex Smugglers' Pubs written by Terry Townsend and published by PiXZ Books. This book was released on 2018-04-12 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 150 years, from the beginning of the eighteenth century, East Sussex wasin the forefront of smuggling due to its pivotal position between the merchantsuppliers of Northern France and London customers eager for untaxed luxuriessuch as brandy, tea and tobacco.The men landing contraband on Sussex beaches had two initial aims. The firstto avoid detection, the second to move the merchandise swiftly inland to halfway hiding places at farms, churches and pubs. Secrecy during these operationswas facilitated by the threat of violence towards would be informers andjudicious bribing of legal authorities encouraging them to turn a blind eye.In many cases the local inn became the smugglers¿ centre of operations whereplots were hatched, arrangements agreed and runs commissioned. The smugglers¿pub served as a meeting place, recruitment centre, distribution depot andvalued customer. This was nowhere more so than in the incomparable smugglingtown of Rye, riddled with linking tunnels and secret storage places.Terry Townsend, who has written extensively on this subject, has identified asignificant number of authentic Smugglers¿ pubs distributed throughout EastSussex. These wonderful old buildings with their low-beamed ceilings, flagstonefloors and inglenook fireplaces evoke a genuine sense of the desperate days offree traders. The events actually occurring during the smuggling heyday providestories every bit as wild as any to be imagined.

Download or read book More Dorset Smugglers' Pubs written by TERRY. TOWNSEND and published by PiXZ Books. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the eighteenth century, cliff-top fires were used to alert incomingsmuggling vessels to the presence of patrolling Customs Officers. Lighting thesewarning fires was a specific and extremely serious offence carrying the deathpenalty. Inland, communication between illiterate people relied on word of mouthwhich begs the question of how gangs of a hundred or more contraband carrierscould be organised to rendezvous at an appointed time and place.In those days the pub was the hub of rural communities and often acted as thenerve centre of smuggling operations. It was in the pubs that plots were hatched,arrangements for transportation agreed and runs commissioned. At these meetingscertain key men were each assigned to raise small groups and the overalltask of assembling a workforce was completed through pyramid delegation.Historian and author Terry Townsend has once again travelled to towns, villagesand hamlets across his home county seeking 'more' of the authentic pubspatronised over two and a half centuries ago by Dorset smugglers. The result isa beautifully-illustrated companion guide presenting a new selection of pubs thatserved not only as meeting places but also recruitment centres, secret storagefacilities, distribution depots and valued customers.These wonderful old buildings with their low-beamed ceilings, flagstone floors,inglenook fireplaces and secret hiding places are where, with a little imagination,one can sense the desperate days of the men who called themselves 'freetraders'.
