Lower Walmer

Deal

A J Langridge's research in 1977 mentions that the pub used to be opposite the Royal Marines gates. If that is correct that would put it very close to the "Cambridge Arms" of today. The book "The Old Pubs of Deal and Walmer" says that there were three pubs in a row in 1861, the "Bricklayers Arms," the "Cambridge Arms" and the "Wellesley Arms."

I do have mention of another "Bricklayer's Arms" in Deal that gives an address of 69 West Street near Wellington Place, which may be confused with this one as Lower Walmer is almost part of Deal today.
