Partington's billposting of advertisements was a once colourful
feature of this corner of the Pier District between Beach Street, to the
left, and Seven Star Street. This Amos photograph, dating from about
1912, also shows the flank-wall advertising of the old "Terminus Hotel",
in Beach Street. Just visible in the original photograph on the right
is the "King's Head Hotel", in
Clarence Place. Below, left The "Kent Arms Inn",
between Oxenden Street and Limekiln Street offered T. Phillips'
Company's pure Kent ales - "0nly Kent hops used" says a sign over the
door. Licensee was W. H. Baker. On the right is Limekiln Street. |

The east end of Beach Street, opposite the terminus of the South Eastern
Railway, with the "Terminus Hotel" in the centre, offering Pale and
Strong's ales, and, next door, the "Brussels Inn" (licensee C. G. Deverson),
selling George Beer & Co's pale ales. Just off the picture to the left
is "Sceptre Inn". Further on were the "Miners' Arms",
"Deal Cutter Inn", and
"Railway Bell" and, at the opposite end of the street the
"Pier Inn" and
"Lord Warden Hotel". |
The original was just round the corner in Beach Street. Number four in
fact and well established by 1847. It enjoyed early opening from 1872. At
first four and then three thirty a.m. from 1874. That would have been on
weekdays only.
With the street rebuilt about 1915 plans were approved for a new
replacement.
Gardner agreed to hand over the old premises when the town provided him
with a suitable site to rebuild.
The evidence as it were being before our very eyes, we know that those
things happened.
A different sign adorned it from April 1962 when it became "The Golden
Arrow".
