 White Lion

Market Place

 

I know this pub cannot be the other "White Lion" in the Tower Hamlets district as there were no houses in that area when the following advert was placed.

At present I have no idea where this pub was, but I'm pretty sure it was in the heart of Dover.

Further research tells me I was correct, it was somewhre in Market Place.
