56 Oxenden Street

Already active in 1859 but ending in 1902 when Newton Chapman surrendered this so that another might open in Goschen Road. All sides being equal, the licence went to Dover Corporation that year, who promptly sold it back to the brewer, George Beer and Company, for £1,000.

The census of 1861 shows a Robert T Stanton and family living here, but gives his occupation as "sail maker." he may also have been the licensee here as well as by 1871 he was in charge of the "Crusader."

Please note that John Epps was said to keep one with this sign in Middle Street, Deal in 1826. (Click here.)
