I am not sure if this is relevant, but remember that there are different types of licence for different beverages and opening hours. In Wales in the 1960s there were still premises with no spirit licence, so they could sell beer, wines and cider but not spirits. A bit before my time there had also been cider houses which could sell cider but not beer. Until recently there was supposed to still be a cider house in Bridgewater. According to what I was told in the 1960s there would be an annual routine for cider houses to apply for beer licences, these applications would be just as routinely refused. In those days a licence was granted in response to a local need and licensing magistrates were easily convinced there was no need to extend licenses, especially if the landlord of the pub with a full license half a mile away opposed the extension on the grounds that his pub already sold beer! So a transfer of a licence to sell spirits to another premises did not mean that the transferring premises ceased to sell beer, wines and cider. Ian.
