At present the only thing I know about this pub is from the Thanet Advertiser of 1875.

 

Thanet Advertiser, 18 September 1875.

This being the annual general licensing day for the Ramsgate district (comprising the parishes of St. Lawrence, Minster, Monkton, St. Nicholas, and Stoner) there was a large attendance of licensed victuallers.

The whole of the existing licences were renewed with the exception of those for two beer houses one held by Mr. William Bussey, of the "Castle," St Lawrence, and the other by Mr. Draper.

In the first case Sergeant Cladish, of the K.C.C., said that P.C. Bradley had reported that a disturbance had recently taking place at the house, and the complaint, were the names of the parties implicated, would have to be sent to the Chief Constable; and in the other case, that of Mr. Draper, who keeps the "Prince of Wales," St Lawrence, the Magistrates ordered the renewal to stand over for a fortnight, in order that Mr. Draper himself might attend, he being represented by his wife on this occasion.

Mr. Bussey's application was likewise adjourned for a fortnight.
