 Endeavour

Latest Oct 1821

12a Bulwark Street

 

It is thought to have been first licensed some forty years after its construction. It was always referred to as "Paine's Endeavour" and certainly a person of that name served in 1840 and 1847, although whether the same Pain is as yet unknown. It would have been on your left moving from Limekiln Street and like the "Exeter", the brewer was anxious to have his claim settled in 1921. Negotiations for its sale had commenced in 1913 but hostilities had delayed any decision.

 

The doors closed finally in October 1921 although Mrs. Stanley continued in residence until that side of the street disappeared in 1927.

 

For the property Dover Corporation paid £124.19s. in 1922.

 

From the Dover Express and East Kent Intelligencer, 24 May, 1872. Price 1d.

FELONY BY A SOLDIER

Samuel Morgan, a bandsman belonging to the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Buffs, was charged with stealing from a till in the bar of the "Endeavour" public-house, in Bulwark Street, sundry money amounting in the whole to 4s. 1d. It appeared that during the temporary absence of the landlord from the bar, the prisoner placed himself in a position which enable him to get access to the till, which was not locked.

The Magistrates sent him to prison for a month with hard labour.

 

From the Dover Express and East Kent News, Friday 11 February, 1881. 1d.

Messrs. Worsfold and Hayward, at their auction sale last week, sold the “Prince Louis,” Chapel Street, a part of the late Mrs. Paul’s estate, for £1,540. At the same sale the “Fox” at Ewell was sold for £550, and a forty year lease of the “Endeavour,” Bulwark Street for £380.
