January, 1849.
John Gilbert otherwise Kilbourne, 21, grocer, was
indicted for stealing, at Dover, one pair of shoes, the property of John
Goodfellow, ostler. Mr. Smith prosecuting.
John Goodfellow deposed that he saw the shoes in the Antwerp stables
on Friday, the 27th October, and next saw them in Deal the following
Sunday.

consequence of suspicions that prisoner had stolen the shoes, who left
the Antwerp stables with his master on Saturday, the 28th, for Deal, he
accompanied prosecutor to Deal in search of the prisoner, and witness
found him in the "Black Horse" Inn, with shoes belonging to Goodfellow
upon his feet. Prisoner was then given into custody of the police. He
admitted to the policeman that he had brought them from Dover, but it
was by mistake, and he intended to return them.

From an email received 13 November, 2010.
I have an ancestor who married a Wanley HOLTON in 1866. His father is given as
Wanley HOLTON, publican - deceased.
A Wanley HOLTON dies in Deal in 1865, BUT is this the same Wanley
HOLTON who apparently sells the Black Horse in Deal in 1869?
In 1851. Wanley Holton (age 60), a Licensed Victualler is living at
192 Lower Street, Deal. There's no mention of a pub of any name in the
census, just house numbers. I think this must be one 'Black Horse' as in
the 1861 Census, 192 Lower Street is the Black Horse Hotel with Hotel
Proprietor Walter G Smith. There's no sign of Wanley there and I haven't
found him anywhere else yet! It's a case of 'watch this space.........'

26 July, 1873.
DRUNK
Joseph F. Slade and Eliza Slade, visitors, Margate, were charged with
being drunk in Deal on the previous day and incapable of taking care of
a pony and carriage of which they had charge.
Supt. Parker said: Yesterday about noon I saw a bob collecting near
the "Black Horse Hotel," and went to see what was the matter. On getting
there I found the defendants standing beside a pony and carriage up the
Black Horse Alley. There were various complaints as to defendants' being
unable to take care of the trap, and they were both drunk. I took them
into custody, and put the pony in the stables at the "Rose Inn."
Mr. J. T. Woodruff said he was standing outside his shop and noticed
the defendants turn from Queen Street into Lower Street, in a pony and
trap. When they got opposite to where they were standing he noticed that
the female defendant sitting in the bottom of the cart, apparently very
drunk. The male prisoner sometimes had hold of the reigns and sometimes
not, and he sometimes had his legs over the side of the vehicle. He was
driving in a very careless and dangerous manner, but the pony was
fortunately a very quiet one. Several people remarked that it was a pity
no policeman could be seen for the moment, as the defendants were
certainly not fit to have charge of a pony.
The male defendant had no question to ask either of the
Superintendent, or of Mr. Woodruff, while the woman remarked that she
would not condescend to ask any questions.
In defence the male defendant said they went out about five o'clock
the previous morning, and got drinking with some sailors. After staying
at Broadstairs sometime, they came on to Deal.
The woman, whose appearance indicated that she was no stranger to
strong drink, said: Of course we are sorry for what has occurred, but it
is quite an accident. We came out for a day's pleasure and met some
friends at Broadstairs and got rather tight. We took more care of the
pony than we did of ourselves. We took a great deal of care of the pony.
I have seen the pony ten times this morning, and he is not injured at
all. Nor are we that I know of, only we shall have to pay, that's all.
If it had not been for a butcher, we should not have been taken up.
The Mayor said the defendants had placed themselves in a very
disgraceful position, and had it not been for the kindness of Mr.
Woodruff and the police a very serious accident might have happened
either to the defendants or others. The Magistrates don't think the
female defendant is absolutely sober now.
The woman (impudently): Don't they.
The Mayor: And to mark their sense of the offence each of the
defendants will be fined 20s., and also the costs 9s. or in default they
will go for 14 days' hard labour.
The woman: Very likely we are going to have 14 days' imprisonment. I
think it is very hard.
The money was paid.

September, 1933.
Mrs Emily Kingsland was successful in her application for the
transfer to her of the licence of the "Black Horse" Inn, Strand Street,
Sandwich, previously held by her husband, the late Mr John Kingsland.

An outlet of Davy & Co. in 1974.
Pre 1743 this pub used to be called the "Dolphin,"
although I have reference to a "Dolphin" in
existence in 1776, so if they are one and the same, the change of name may
have been after this year. Unless of course it was Edward White who changed
the name the same time as he took over the pub in 1776.
Again changed name to the "Strand"
after closure in 1997.
