18 Commercial Quay

The Standard is shown next to Sharp and Enright on the right of the photo and after that the "Old Commercial Quay." There is only one house shown after that in this photo.

It faced the dockside and was there in 1862 perhaps earlier. It closed on 31 December 1914, the licence being allowed to lapse. The lessee was compensated with £658. 15s., the licensee with £58.5s. and the freeholder, Dover Harbour Board, £20.

It had been closed previously, in 1876, when it was inhabited with prostitutes.

After the final closure it became a private dwelling.
