The Medway Archives and Local Studies Centre has referenced a set of documents, that I haven't seen yet, and is part of the Watts Charity MSS, 1579-1972. Reference is made as follows:- 1761-1779 T10. Premises in Chatham, Shorne and London [including several messuages
on North side of High Street, with smiths' forge, 1 group of 9 messuages;
land on corner of Whittle Alley and High Street, and 1 on corner of Globe
Lane; the "Dover Castle," Globe Lane; several messuages in Holborn Lane, all
in Chatham; windmill at Shorne Hill, Shorne; and land at Aldersgate Street,
St. Botolph's, London, formerly containing 2 messuages] (16 docs.)
1822-1829 T16. Premises in Chatham and London [Including several messuages newly erected in 1829, in Holborn Lane; the "Dover Castle," Globe Lane; and messuage and wheelwright's shop, Room Lane, all in Chatham; messuage at no. 1 Long Lane, Aldersgate, London] (7 docs.) [Original bundle no. 20]

1816-1821 E152. Rome Lane farm and land, and premises in Globe Lane [including The "George," and The "Dover Castle"] (1 bundle)
The Licensing Records of 1872 states that the premises was operating a Full License and was owned by the Trustees of Watts Charity. I am informed that the premised was demolished in the 1980s to make way for road improvements.
