Custom House Quay
Present in 1784-1859 but otherwise I can say little. I did come across it
once spelt 'Quays'.

From an email sent on 16 February 2008.
I saw your web site on Dover pubs for the first time
yesterday. Great work!
So far as the Cross-Keys Inn on Custom House Quay is concerned, I
have come across this pub as far back (so far!
[Now pre-dated as above]) as 1784, when a sailing
cutter was advertised in the Kentish Gazette as for sale by auction at
the Cross-Keys Coffee-House on Thursday, the 24th February, 1784,
possibly to a smuggling gang who hid their intentions! Smuggling was a
thriving industry in those days, as I am sure you know. I have not seen
any mention of her as a cross-Channel passage vessel in any of the
'Shipping News' items printed in the Kentish Gazette.
The inventory and particulars were available from Messrs. Latham and Son. Hope that's of interest to you.
Best wishes,
Alec Hasenson

DOVER POLICE COURT
Wednesday:- Johan Auguste Kihlstedt and Jamed Kennedy, mariners, were
committed for trial on a charge of stealing two boxes, containing about
20lbs. of candles, and 40lbs. of soap, from the cargo of the schooner
Aarora, of Jersey. Three boxes had been stolen; and it appeared by the
evidence against the prisoners, that they, with two other men, were the
thieves. One of the latter having taken apart of the stolen goods to the
"Cross Keys," where they were afterwards found and given up by the
landlord to the sergeants of police, who apprehended the prisoners.
