Clifton Hotel 102 Middle Street

The house above is numbered 102 Middle Street which was the address for the "Clifton". Although having said that, I have seen it mentioned as 120 in one of the directories, but believe that to be an error on their part.

Clifton Hotel garden

Pikes directory of 1809 refers to the pub as the "Clifton Hotel and Gardens." The gardens are shown in the above photograph.

 

Formerly the "Redan" but changed name to the "Clifton Hotel," on the 3rd September, 1896. Deal Licensing Register That doesn't explain why licensees have been seen before that date though, unless it was colloquially known as the Clifton while still the "Redan."

The address of the "Redan" is given as 153 Middle Street. I believe it changed numbers between 1858 and 1882.
