I am not sure whether this pub ever actually gained a license or even
opened and the only reference to it so far is from the Whitstable Times and
Herne Bay Herald of 1867.
The building was opposite the "Nelson
Inn."
I also have reference to a "George
and Dragon" addressed as 16 Harbour Street, which would have been close
less the street has been renumbered.

ANNUAL LICENSING DAY WHITSTABLE
The annual licensing Sessions for the Home Division of the County of
Kent were held at Canterbury on Saturday last. William James Weatherly
applied for a license for the “Royal Native,” Harbour Street. Mr. Sankey, for the applicant, stated that his client had occupied the
house several years; and had spent a large sum of money in enlarging and
repairing it. On being appealed to, P.C. Bates said the house was very
badly conducted, and that the applicant frequently got tipsy. Wynn Ellis, Esq., said there were at the present time nearly 30 licensed
houses in the town; and he thought it would be unnecessary for the
Magistrates to grant any more. Mr. Sankey said if his client had conducted his house in an improper
manner it was P.C. Bates' duty to summons him. Supt. Walker having corroborated the constable's statement, the
application was refused. |
