The Loss of Licence - the Interwar Years
In the 1920s the Plough (P21) lost its licence, and Simonds applied to have the Anchor's (P22) full licence transferred to the Queen at Hawley.
Here is some data extracted from the Minute Book of the County Licensing Committee:

| Plough, Yateley | Silas Adnam | John May & Co Ltd | Refused | £122 | £640 |

Queen Blackwater
application for confirmation of publican's licence to Thomas Hilton Dixon as annual licence for The Queen Blackwater, an ante 1869 Beerhouse, on condition that £700 Monopoly value be paid prior to application
GRANT CONFIRMED, the existing Beerhouse (ante-1869) licence to be surrendered.
Why did the Plough and the Fox (on the old main road to Eversley) lose their licences, whilst the Royal Oak succeeded in keeping going? Why did the brewery owning the Anchor want to transfer the full publican licence from the Anchor on Vigo Lane to the Queen in Hawley?
