Boars Head circa 1987

Boars Head circa 1980, photo by Barry Smith.

The above two photos are date unknown.

The above two photos are date unknown, but show a fete just outside the Boars Head which is now part of the Dover Grammar School's Football field called Leney's Field.

Later passing to Fremlin but the groundwork here is credited to Leney. In 1900 he applied for an 'off' licence, the house then being under construction. He met with refusal but Mr. Cheeseman the tenant did occupy the premises on 11 August that year. The road was complete the following year and the houses let.

His second application asked for an 'on' licence, together with plans for the adjoining house to be incorporated. He agreed to surrender the "Round Tower Inn" if the request was granted so with diplomacy of that nature where was the magistrate who could say nay?

Pikes Dover Blue Book 1948-49 inaccurately titles the pub "Bonehead." I bet that went down well with the licensee H. J. Roberts at the time.
