This pub was located near the beach on Dungeness about 1 mile east of Dungeness Point, at the southern end of Dengemarsh Road.

It was a timber built bungalow of 4 bedrooms, sitting room and a large living room with a serving bar. It was next to Myrtle Cottage, which was built and occupied by the Prebble family, an old Dungeness fishing family, and was occupied up until the Second World War. All that remains today of both the Inn and cottage are their concrete bases.

INQUESTS ON A MOTHER AND CHILD.

An inquest was held at the "Hope and Anchor Inn," Dungeness, on the 21st inst., before George Finn, Esq., coroner, on the body of Naomi Ripley, aged 3 months, who was found dead in a berth situate in a room adjoining the "Hope and Anchor," and about three feet wide, and used for the accommodation of lodgers.

The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental suffocation."

A second inquest was held at the same place on the body of Naomi Ripley, aged 25, the mother of the above child, who committed suicide by drowning herself in the sea at Dungeness.

From the evidence of William Read (a chairbottomer) with whom the deceased was cohabiting) it seemed that on the morning of the 21st inst. the deceased awoke him and told him the child was dead. He immediately got up to call some one and when he went back deceased was not there. Search was immediately made and she was discovered floating in the sea and when got out was dead.

The jury uttered a verdict " Temporary insanity."
