New Street

 

Little else is known about this establishment yet other than the name of the public house and that it was hosted by William Newing in 1844. William Newing is also mentioned as being the licensee of the "Regent Tap" in 1853, so he may have been at this establishment till that time, but I have no further information past 1844.

 

From the Dover Telegraph and Cinque Ports General Advertiser, Saturday 14 December, 1844. Price 5d.
