Pier

Dover

 

This was one that Barry Smith never traced, so wasn't in his original book. However, I have only ever seen it mentioned twice and both times in the Kentish Gazette of 1769 and 1770 and advertising an auction in the premises. The mention of the Pier, I will assume to be the newly formed Pier District of Dover that has formed from the silting up of the outlet to the River Dour.
