Deal

Albion, Deal

The Deal Cutter is shown as the third property on the left. Extreme right is the "Royal Exchange" and extreme left the "Albion."

Beach Street 2010

Above photo kindly supplied by Patricia Streater January 2010. The "Albion" is recognisable at the corner of Silver Street and is No.167. On its right is a white painted house with grey door and this is No.169 which has been incorrectly listed as the "Deal Cutter" in various directories. Next door on the right, the yellow walls with blue door is the one that has the name "Deal Cutter" but no number on this door or anywhere on this property. Then on its right is No. 173.

 

This pub has also been referred to as simply the "Cutter" and the "Cutter Tavern." Kelly's directory of 1878 list it at 167 Beach Street.

Close by, and also named after a class of vessel is the "Deal Lugger", also in Beach Street at number 183. There was a renumbering of the Street between 1890 and 1893, and that has caused quite a bit of confusion.

Lastly, today a door incorrectly identifies house number 171 as being the "Deal Cutter" but there is no evidence that this part of the building was ever used as the public house.

Incorrect naming of 171
