3 Beach Street
Dover
Originally called the "Hotel-de-Brussels" it seems this pub changed name
to a more Foreign sounding "Bruxelles Inn" in about 1854, but some time
after that date it changed again to the "Brussels Inn".
I can only assume that either the spelling was more convenient to resort to
the more familiar Brussels spelling, or that the spelling of Bruxelles was a
mistake in the first place. Although it did appear under this name in two
different newspaper reports.

CORONER'S INQUEST
An inquest was held on Thursday, before George T. Thompson, Esquire.
Coroner of the Borough, at the "Bruxelles Inn," Beach Street, on the
body of a mariner picked up off this port, by a Deal boat, on Wednesday.
The evidence went no further than the identification of the body as that
of Adam Golden, aged 27, of Hastings, and one of the crew of the
schooner "Sprightly," of Folkestone, where deceased has left a wife and
two children. As there was nothing to show how death resulted, save a
report of his being lost on the 16th ult., the enquiry was adjourned to
the 22nd inst., when the "Sprightly" will in all probability be returned
from her present voyage.
