VICTORIA (Late the GLOBE) TAVERN, SAINT GEORGE'S STREET, CANTERBURY.

E. C. DUNCAN Begs to inform her Friends, that the Annual HOP BETTING DINNER, will take place THIS DAY, (Tuesday), the 25th instant.

Dinner on Table at Four o'clock precisely.

From the Kentish Gazette, 7 April 1846.

On Wednesday last an excellent concert took place at the assembly room of the "Victoria Tavern." There was a highly respectable attendance—Mr. T. Delasaux in the chair, who in the course of the evening proposed a variety of toasts. The orchestra was complete, and Mr. Farquharson Smith and Miss Goldsmith sang several songs with great effect, and were loudly and deservedly applauded. This room is decidedly better adapted for concerts than any other in the city, and it is only a matter of surprise that one of the already established musical clubs do not make this their place of meeting. The principle upon which the concert on Wednesday was conducted was that of the celebrated old Catch Club, whose season terminated the previous week. We believe the concerts will be continued for two or three weeks longer on the Wednesday evening.

From the Kentish Gazette, 17 November 1846.

A memorial, signed by upwards of one hundred of the inhabitants, was presented against granting a license in future to this house, it being alleged that the music and dancing in the room proved a great nuisance.
