Lewis Road

Istead Rise

Records exist from 1763 of a licensee of a public house on the corner of Lewis Road called the Dover Castle. The nearby section of Wrotham Road (A227) is still known as Dovercastle Hill. The demolition of the Dover Castle is likely to have been in the late 18th or early 19th Century. The site is now occupied by the Flint Cottages (the second oldest building in Istead Rise) that are first recorded as being occupied by Rev. W. Price in 1825.

According to Dead Pubs the pub was closed in 1784.
