20 North Lane
Canterbury
Above image from Google, March 2009, I believe to be the vicinity of
the former "William IV" public house, although I am not sure whether the building
is the original house. |
Another "King William IV" is found at 41a Union Street, but with Union
Street and North Lane being a good half a mile apart, I am assuming them to
be different pubs. This has also been referred to as the "William IV."
It appears that in 1889 the premises was empty.

South Eastern Gazette, 28 August, 1860.
Complaints against Publicans.
At the city petty sessions, yesterday, complaints were made against
the landlords of the "Sun," the "Woolpack," and the "William IV.,"
of having opened their houses for the sale of liquor at illegal
hours on the previous day (Sunday).
The landlord of the "Woolpack," in North-lane, did not appear, and
was ordered to be summoned.
The case against Thos. Attwood, of the "William IV.," was gone into
and proved, and having been previously cautioned by the Bench, he
was fined 10s. and the costs.
The complaint against Mr. Bassenden, of the "Sun," was also
proceeded with, when he stated that the two gentlemen who were seen
in his house were about to proceed to Herne Bay, and were merely
partaking of a glass of stout and some bread and cheese while their
horses were being prepared.
Defendant was dismissed with a caution.

From the Maidstone Telegraph, Rochester and Chatham Gazette, 2 November 1861.
Canterbury.
On Friday evening and inquest was held at the "King William IV,"
touching the death of a new born child, the offspring of Mary Ann
Clinton, only 15 years old. From the doctors evidence it appeared that
he was unable to state whether it was born dead or alive. Under the
circumstances the jury returned a verdict to the effect that the child
in question was stillborn.
