169 Beach Street (167 in 1828 and 1871 census
 )
Deal
The Deal Cutter is shown as the third property on the left. Extreme
right is the "Royal Exchange" and
extreme left the "Albion."
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.
The census of 1901 also mentions the Deal Cutter at 10 Beach Street and
Walter Langley/Landen age 25, publican, although I believe this could refer
to the "Deal Cutter" in Dover.
However, in that year there appears to have been a Walter Taylor as licensee
in the Dover pub.

From an email received 16 July 2014.
Hi Paul,
Family history research I and others have done suggests that a man
called George Hubbard (my g-g-g-grandfather) was the licensee for a time
up to 1812, before being arrested and convicted in 1813 for helping an
attempted escape by a high-ranking French general who'd been taken
prisoner by the British in Spain.
Hubbard was transported for life to Port Jackson (Sydney), where he
became a member of two expeditions by explorer John Oxley to explore the
hinterland of New South Wales. Soon after that he received a pardon and
went to Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania), where he became the government
boat-builder in the north of the island and at one stage ran a pub
called the Deal Cutter in Launceston.
Regards,
Bruce Walkley
