Duke Street can be traced back to as early as 1811 and was built on the
gardens of Duke Hayman and Basden, purchased around 1798. The road being
used since 1803 and already containing several buildings, one of which was
the assembly hall which goes back to 1723, unfortunately being demolished in
the 1960s.
An 1804 map showed Samuel Ffasham Roby owning part of the road and he was
also brewer in Lower Street (now High Street).
J Hayman is the first landlord of this beer-house mentioned under the
name of "Deal Hoy" in 1836 and was there till at least 1863 when he was
sentenced to 14 days' with hard labour for concealing a soldier for an
unlawful purpose. he would have been 81 then. The premised finally gained a
full license during his time in 1848.
In 1866, two years after new licensee, Charles Robert French, took the
reign in 1864, a fire broke out presumably originating by some tobacco ashes
having been dropped ion the skittle alley, and the building being built from
wood was soon alight, however the building (skittle alley) was doused and
under control before too much damage was done.
The ordinance Survey maps of the early 1870s showed that the pub was also
part of the property next door and occupied by the family of the first
landlord Hayman. It is now a private residence called Duke House.
Several different brewers have supplied the "Deal Hoy" over the years.
Tomson and Wotton in 1868, "Gillow
and Wareham", brewers of Sandwich in 1871,
Wareham and Baxter & Stapleton also of Sandwich in 1883. 1924 the brewery
supplying the "Deal Hoy" was Gardener's, and they were still delivering beer
till at least 1974. Shepherd Neame supplied the beer in the new 21st
century.
John Edward Devereux, having taken over from George Norris in 1903 was
charged with stealing two galloons of whisky in November 1905 and George
Norris returned as licensee shortly after being convicted.
The pub closed for a short time in 1941 when a protection order was
granted in favour of Roger Jones of Gardener's Ales and reopened again
on the 21 April 1944 when he was again licensee.
Licensee in 2010, Gill Hawkes, was a relation of original landlord John
Hayman.

THEFT OF AN OVERCOAT
John Murphy, of no fixed abode, was charged with feloniously stealing
an overcoat, value 10s., the property of Frederick William Coleman, at
Deal, on the 13th July.
Prosecutor deposed that about half-past 5 the previous evening
prisoner and another man came into his house, the Deal Hoy, and asked
for two pints of beer. As they were sober and quiet he served them, and
they went into the tap-room to drink it. About 10 minutes afterwards he
saw prisoner leaving his house, wearing his (witness') overcoat
(produced), which he had hung up in the room a short time previously,
and which he valued at 10s. He said to one of his customers "There goes
a man wearing my coat," and rushed around the bar after the prisoner,
and caught him opposite St. Andrew's Church, still wearing the coat. he
took the coat off and sent for the police.
Asked if he had any questions to put to prosecutor prisoner said "No.
I had been drinking all day, and don't know much about it."
Prosecutor: You were perfectly sober when you came into my house.
Alfred Whiddett, labourer, living at Deal, said that about a quarter
to 6 the previous evening his attention was called, by the landlord of
the "Deal Hoy," to the fact that the prisoner was wearing his (the
landlord's) coat, and he was asked to assist in getting it back. He then
ran out of the house, and saw prisoner pulling the coat off. He
attempted to get away, but witness held him and prevented him from doing
so. he asked him what he meant by taking his coat, and he replied that
he was very sorry, and that he was drunk, but he did not appear to be
so. He asked witness to give him one more chance. Witness handed him
over to the prosecutor, who said that he should lock him up.
Police-sergt. Curtis deposed that at 6.30 p.m. on Friday evening he
was on duty at the police station, when he was called into High Street,
and prisoner was pointed out to him as being wanted for stealing an
overcoat from the "Deal Hoy." he overtook the prisoner at the "Rose
Hotel," and brought him to the station. he then sent for Mr.
Coleman, who gave prisoner into custody. He charged him, cautioning him
in the usual way, and he replied, "I have been drinking, and I hope you
won't be hard on me."
In reply to Inspector Ellender, witness said that prisoner was sober.
After being charged prisoner said he would plead guilty, adding "I
suppose the coat was found on me. I have been coming to Deal for the
past 14 or 15 summers, and such a thing has never come to me before."
The Inspector, in answer to Capt. Mourilyan, said that prisoner was a
stranger here.
Prisoner was sentenced to 28 days' hard labour.

PUB EXHIBITION
AN ARTIST GEARING UP FOR DISPLAY AT TOWN PUB
Report by Yamurai Zendera
A DEAL-based artist is gearing up to exhibit her work in the town.
Maria Carleton is putting together the final touches to her "An
Eclectic Collection exhibition," set to run at the "Deal Hoy" pub in
Duke Street, from November 1 to December 6.
The mother-of-one said she will host a "meet the artist" event at the
venue the day before the exhibition is due to begin. It will start at
6.30pm and she will answer questions people have about her work.
Maria's exhibition will display a body of original prints and
paintings created since 2002.
 
The 46-year-old said: "The work is like a narrative through history.
It ranges from a limited edition of etched flags such as that of St.
George, inspired by, the First Crusade of 1096 to 1098, to courtesans of
the Baroque era with their hair piled high mirroring the fashion
favoured by popstars such as Mary Wilson and Amy Winehouse and
yesteryear's jazz singers."
Maria has been an artist since the 1980s. She graduated with a fine
art degree from West Surrey College of Art and Design, after which she
won a printmaking scholarship at UCLA in California. She later studied
for a master's degree.
She is a member of South East Artists Open Studios - a group of
artists and craft-makers from Deal and surrounding areas, aiming to
promote the visual arts and crafts in the local community.
For three years from 2000 she was an art teacher but gave up work to
raise her newborn son Rufus.

Macmillan Cancer Support.

opened the event with an extremely lively and topical speech.
"I cannot name everybody who so willingly gave their time, expertise

afternoon and evening, thoroughly enjoyed by everybody."

DEAL HOY PUB TO OFFER LOCAL MUSIC AND FOOD
Advertising feature
 
AHOY there! There are new faces at the helm or popular community pub
"Deal Hoy" in Duke Street.
Ian and Sharon Goodban will be taking over on Tuesday, December 20, and
are bringing with them lots of ideas to enhance the hostelry's reputation, ensuring it has plenty to offer.
Running a pub has been a lifelong ambition for Deal born and bred Ian
and he is thrilled to be taking on his own local. They will maintain the
Hoy's reputation as a music venue although music will stop on
a Sunday in favour of a more traditional ambience, with complimentary
bar snacks and a raffle.
Music lovers be reassured, there will be some great sounds
reverberating around live folk, jazz, blues and soul.
Kicking off on Wednesday, December 21, will be Deal-based Carl, Konrad
and Joe with their eclectic gipsy/folk sounds.
On Wednesday, December 28, there will be blues and soul classics on
acoustic guitar
and saxophone from Cameron Stenhouse and Doug.
After Christmas, the Goodbans will be introducing food, serving simple
favourites, using local ingredients.
Ian said "We love it here and the "Hoy" is a good local pub
with a really nice feeling and atmosphere. We want to build on that and
nurture it as a place where all types can come for a drink and a chat,
We hope to encourage people in and keep them entertained.
"We want to make the pub female-friendly and look after ladies who come
in. We also want to encourage local groups and societies. The pub is
known for its monthly artists' spot and that is going to continue."
They are looking to introduce
a photographic competition in the summer where pub users will vote for
their favourite image.
A more unusual event in the pipeline is a sprat eating competition.
"North enders were traditionally known as 'sprat gobblers'." said
Ian.
The pub dates from 1850 and
is named after a small sailing vessel which once transported goods
between London and the Kent coast.
Ian has travelled around the world, served in the Royal Navy as a
weapons engineer and photographer, and worked as on offshore surveyor.
He has more recently been teaching physics at Walmer Science College and
Dover Boys Grammar School.
As a hobby, he is a keen diver. The son of retired Deal fisherman Derek
Goodban, the sea and town remain fundamental to Ian's life.
"We both enjoy pubs and I feel I have really come home," said Ian.
