Originally the "Guildhall Vaults", a plaque in the wall commemorates that fact with the dates 1690-1943.

 

An outlet of Ind Coope and Allsopp, (now Ind Coope), it opened on 4 July 1957 as the "Dover Tavern".

 

After a short period under the Firkin Brewery the name changed to The "Flotilla and Furkin", but it has now changed name again to just the "Flotilla". (2007).

 

Locally, for those who can remember the pub as the Dover Tavern, it is often referred to as the "Dover Flo".
