Port of Dover Dover
Presumably they are talking about a pub name here, not the name of the harbour. The advert is a bit vague however, in its wording, and if they mean the harbour rather than a pub, does not mention which area of the harbour the Cargo was being auctioned. Further research has found the following passage regarding a brewer in 1707, who married a woman called LE CANDLE. Not sure whether there is any connection here, but it's a brewer I haven't heard of before.
I have just been informed by Kathleen Hollingsbee that for sale "by the Candle" is a sale conducted with a lit candle and the sale finishes when the candle goes out. So I don't think this was a pub after all.
