Reference has been found in the 1861 census of a Elizabeth Palfy running this beer house in Oxford Street. At the same time Elizabeth Lewis appeared to be working for her there, but in 1871 was the licensee.

The building was replaced in the 1930s.

 

From the Kentish Gazette, 5 September 1865.

ST AUGUSTINE’S PETTY SESSIONS.

Saturday. (Before Geo. Neame, Esq., Captain Slarke, T. H. Mackay, Esq., William Plummer, Esq., T. G. Peckham, Esq., and P. Marten, Esq.)

The Annual Licensing Day. WHITSTABLE.

Authorities for spirit licenses were then successively granted as follows:-

The application of Mr. Alfred Charles Lott, for a license for the "King William" beerhouse, Oxford Street, was refused. In several of these cases the houses licensed are only ordinary cottages, but each applicant presented a memorial that to grant him a license would be to confer a boon on the public. Several of the memorials were in the same handwriting, and mostly signed by the same individuals, including churchwardens surgeons, and tradesmen.
