Sandgate High Street

Sandgate

 

Not to be confused with the "Victoria Tavern," this was only a beer house that I believe was only serving from between 1861 and 1869.

It is said it was near to the "Rose Inn."

 

Kentish Gazette 24 May 1859

Robert Downs, formerly landlord of the "Marquis of Granby," High Street, Folkestone, but latterly keeping the "Victoria," at Sandgate, committed suicide by hanging himself on Friday morning in an outhouse attached to his premises. Family quarrels are assigned as the cause.
