180 Beach Street 195 Beach Street Deal
In 1903 the pub was owned by the East Kent Brewery, Sandwich. It certainly no longer looks inviting as a public house and to date I do not know when it ceased to trade. Obviously after 1922. The earliest date I have is 1840 but the Deal History Society date it even further back to 1828. http://home.freeuk.net/eastkent/deal/pubs.htm
Misleading information. When I first went to photograph the house I found a giveaway sign on the glass over the front door identified this building as the "Yarmouth Packet".
I assumed that due to renumbering of the road, the "Yarmouth Packet" was now listed at number 189 and not 180 as I was given to believe. However, the glass sign must be incorrect, and I have now amended my mistake, but left this reference and photograph in, in case someone else finds this building and make the same assumption. To date there is no evidence that this premises was connected to the public house of that name. A relative of Henry West has recently contacted me (Sept 2020) and explained the reason why the house also has the same name:- "Henry West was my 3x Great Grandfather and from research I have done on this and a visit to Deal, I understand the following. Henry West was landlord of the "Yarmouth Packet" at 180 Beach Street until he retired and moved to a house across the road, which was then called The Yarmouth Packet. He lived there until he died in 1872. The original Inn was on the sea side of the promenade at number 180 (even number) the house is on the other side of the street, is number 195 (an odd number). Due to high tides and sea wall deterioration the Inn was demolished and a new promenade was built. I don't have the dates for this.

Apparently the house closed on 31 December 1919, even though the Post Office directory shows it Open 2014+ in 1922. There is also reference to the contents of the house being sold by auction on 25 October 1921.
