From the Dover Telegraph and Cinque Ports General
Advertiser, Saturday 9 March, 1839. Price 5d.
On Saturday last, Mr. H. G. Humpfries, Landlord of the "Black Horse,"
in Sandwich, met an untimely death. He was in the act of stepping from a
Lighter, lying close to the flow-gates, at Salt Pans, about two miles
from Sandwich, when his foot slipped, and he was precipitated into the
river; and in consequence of the current, caused by the flood gates
being open, he was carried down the stream, and all attempts at rescuing
him proved unavailing. Several persons from the town have been engaged
during the whole week in searching for his body; but without success.

From the Dover Express, 30 January 1970.
Historic Inn soon to close.
One of Sandwiches most historic and also its smallest will soon close
its doors.
The "Black Horse" in the same family for over 80 years is to be
converted, like so many more of the town's hostelries, into a private
house.
 The
building was probably an outbuilding of nearby Manwood Court and could
be over 400 years old.
The licensee, Miss Ruth Kingsland, has been landlady for ten years
since the death of her mother. She was born there when her father was
landlord and has all his meticulous records of business since he took
over in 1886.
These show the changing value of the trade. Gin was booked in at 11s.
a gallon and one pound of tobacco at 3s. 10d.
The owners Messrs. Charrington, have been asked to supply detailed
plans of their proposals to convert the building. It is a scheduled
property under the Town and Country Planning Act.
The photographs shows Miss Ruth Kingsnorth behind the bar of the
"Black Horse" this week.
