Pier
Dover
It is only known that Dame Barnett served here in 1805. From all accounts
the environment was a blustery one.
Since Barry Smith's research above, I have come across the following
advert which predates the above information by 37 years, so obviously, not
as blustery as Barry imagined. Assuming, of course the two are the same pub.
I would also assume that the pub was in good walking distance of the
harbour.
Again, further research has given me an address at last or thereabouts;
it says the house was situated near the Pier in Dover. I assume that to be
the Pier District. The information also predates the house to as early as
1763.
