THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT IN GUERNSEY
What it was in 1837, and what it is in the Jubilee Year of Her Majesty
“…The first object which seemed to demand their attention was the want of a place on the South Pier where working people and others could go for unintoxicating refreshments, instead of resorting to public-houses…”
“In connection with this scheme there is the Soldiers’ Institute, which is striving and self-supporting, under the management of Mr. Albert Lock, who has a kind word for everyone, and another Cafe and reading room at St. Andrew’s, which had received much support fromMrs. General Huyabe, and which is found to be a great boon to the working people of that district, especially during the winter months. “
(from The Guernsey Magazine: A Monthly Illustrated Journal of Useful Information, Instruction, and Entertainment; Vol. 15; 1887
“A Soldiers’ Institute, at St. Peter Port, Guernsey, was opened on the 8th inst. by General Huyabe, C.B., in the absence of his Excellency General Foley, C.B., the Governor of the Island. A number of Ladies and gentlemen, amongst whom were Colonel L’Estrange, Commanding R.A. and Lieutenant-Colonel Wades, V.C.,Commanding 75th Regiment, the Rector of St. Peter Port, and the Rev. S. Dubree, Garrison Chaplain, sat down among the military to a social tea, after which the place was declared formally opened. I is connected with the Church of England Temperance Society, and comprises a large room with two billiard tables, chess and draught boards, its., refreshment-rooms, and library and reading room. Smoking is allowed anywhere on the premises, and no charge is made except for refreshments and small fee for use of the tables. Thus, Guernsey, already popular as a military station has added another to its many attractions.’
