This pub is one in the list of my "Project 2014."

As such I have found a picture of the pub, but to date have no other information. Local knowledge, further pictures, and licensee information would be appreciated.

I will be adding the historical information when I find or are sent it, but this project is a very big one, and I do not know when or where the information will come from.

All emails are answered.

 

From the Sevenoaks Chronicle, 31 August 1852.

ANNUAL LICENSING DAY AT ROCHESTER.

Friday being the day appointed for the general annual Licensing day, and for hearing applications fro granting new licenses, the county magistrates assembled in petty sessions at eleven o'clock. There were present, the Rev. G. Davies (chairman), Capt. Baker, W. M. Smith, Esq., M. P., W. H. Nicholson, Esq., Major Boys, and the Rev. J. J. Marsham.

Mr. Arnold then applied on behalf of Mr. Wright, for a license for the "Dover Castle," a beer shop at Northfleet, situate on the road leading from the "Leather Bottle" to Perry Street, and at a distance of 430 yards from any other public house,

The Court was again cleared, and on the re-admission the Rev. Chairman said the Magistrates granted a license for the "Dover Castle," but not for the "Shepherd's Delight" or the "Crown."
