DURHAM HILL FLATS

Durham Hill Flats 1953

A view of the flats now being built on Durham Hill (1953), facing Military Road. Those on the right, near Bowling Green Terrace, are nearing completion. They will help to meet the demand for accommodation in the town centre.

 

A "Bowling Green House", addressed Military Road, was reported as trading in 1823 and shows up again in Pigot's Directory 1832-33-34 & 39 although this time just referred to as Bowling Green.

It also shows up as being a "Bowling Green Tavern," Military Road in 1862, but was not granted a licence as the landlord was dead.

At this time, I do not know when the licence was lost, certainly before 1862.

 

From the Dover Express and East Kent Intelligencer, 11 January, 1862.

TRANSFERS

An application for a new licence to the "Bowling Green" tavern, Military Road, was refused, it appeared that the late landlord was dead. It was ordered that another application should be made in the presence or the representatives of the deceased landlord, in March next.
