34 (Old) High Street

Folkestone

Originally a Methodist Chapel opened in 1830 but this closed in 1847 when a number of people associated with the hall absconded to America.

The building didn't open as a public house until February 1848, but then again closed in March 1850.

 

From the Dover Telegraph and Cinque Ports General Advertiser, Saturday 1 February, 1834. Price 7d.

 

The dullness of the winter evenings is now much relieved by entertainments given by Mr. James Middleton, at the "Apollo Assembly Rooms," where he has fitted up a tasteful theatre, which is nightly crowded.
