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.

Dover Chronicle 4 October 1862.
“In the midst of life we are in death.” Never was this truth of the
inspired volume more forcefully verified than on Tuesday last at
Sandgate. On that day Mr. Thomas Goulder, of the "Harbour Inn,"
Folkestone, in the prime of life (aged 43 years), was standing at
the door of the "Victoria Inn," Sandgate, conversing with some
friends. While thus engaged he suddenly fell to the ground, and on
being raised up he was found to be speechless. Medical assistance
was soon on the spot, when it was pronounced that the vital spark
had fled – death, it was supposed, had resulted from a diseased
heart.

Commissioner Holroyd.
This was the first sitting for the proof of debts and choice of
assignees under the bankruptcy of Benjamin Collins, who was
described as “formerly of the "White Horse Inn,"
(sic) Cheriton, Kent,
innkeeper, then of Cheriton aforesaid, labourer, then of Brabourne,
Kent, beershop keeper, then of Wyatt Street, Maidstone, Kent, out of
employ, then of the "Ship Inn," Rye, Sussex, innkeeper, and now a
waiter residing at the "Victoria Tavern," Sandgate, Kent.”
Mr. John Clark, solicitor, of Cook's Court, appeared for the
bankrupt, who filed his petition on the 2nd of November, attributing
his difficulties to the “insufficiency of his profits to meet his
expenses.”
The total amount of his unsecured debts is £500 9s. 1d., due to
creditors residing at Maidstone, Rye, Dover, Canterbury, Folkestone
and Hastings, and the creditors holding security are the Dover
Permanent Building Society, Kent, £500; and Messrs. Knocker and
Wilks, solicitors, Hythe, £100, who also hold mortgages for the
above amount on three houses at Brabourne, Kent, of the value of
£600.
No proof was tendered, consequently no trade assignee was
appointed, and the Court having fixed the 18th of December, at 2
o'clock, for the examination and discharge sitting, granted the
bankrupt renewed protection from arrest until that time, and the
proceedings terminated.
