Lord Warden site 1998

Above photo kindly supplied by Patricia Streater show the new building on the site of the "Lord Warden" November 1998. At that time the shops were "Alldays" and "Golden Curry, Takeaway."

 

The Deal Licensing Register states that the pub changed name from the "Sydenham Green" on 10 September 1863.

The text Lord Warden (P.H.) is shown on Kent Sheet 58.04 (LVIII.4) being a reprint of ‘First Edition 1873' Old Ordnance Survey Maps published by Alan Godfrey Maps.

 

From the Deal, Walmer and Sandwich Telegram, 29 April, 1871.

Petty Sessions.

C. A. Smith, landlord of the "Lord Warden" public house, Mill Road, charged with keeping house open for sale of beer during prohibited hours, viz. at 11.45 a.m. on Sunday last.

Dismissed on payment of costs 6s. 6d.

 

From the Deal, Walmer, and Sandwich Mercury, 29 April, 1871. 1d.

PUBLIC HOUSE OFFENCES

Charles Alfred Smith, landlord of the "Lord Warden," public-house, Mill Road, was summoned, upon the information of the Superintendent of Police, for having his house open before half-past 12 on Sunday, the 23rd inst., viz., at a quarter to 12. Defendant did not deny the fact, and gave the following explanation:- The mother of his servant, Mrs. Moss, occasionally came in to help her daughter, as she had not been well for some time. She was there on Sunday last, and when she had done her work in the morning Mrs. Smith gave her some lunch and with it some beer, but the old lady preferred taking it home, and just as she left the house the Superintendent came to the door.

After consulting together, the Magistrates said that although defendant had broken the law, still they thought it was more in ignorance and they had no desire to record a conviction against him, and they would therefore allow the summons to be withdrawn if he paid the costs, 6s. 6d.

Defendant at once paid the money, and said that he was out for a walk on the morning in question, or in all probability the offence would not have occurred. He had always kept a respectable and orderly house, but he was obliged to have the house open on Sunday to enable the tenants to fetch their water.

 

From the Dover Express and East Kent News, Friday 12 October, 1883. 1d.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT

Mr. Smith, the landlord of the “Lord Warden Inn,” Cemetery Road, was chopping down an old wooden out-house on Wednesday afternoon last, when he accidentally brought the hatchet across his hand, severing the tops of the two fore-fingers.

 

From the Deal, Walmer, and Sandwich Mercury, 15 December, 1900.

SANDWICH POLICE COURT

Stephen Tyler, labourer, and Mary Ann Adams, widow, both of Deal, were charged with being drunk and disorderly, near the "Lord Warden," the previous evening.

P.C. Hogben said he was called about 9.45 the previous evening, to the First Lane. Defendants were then opposite the "Lord Warden." They were both drunk and made use of very bad language. He took them into custody, and the male prisoner became very violent, and witness had to obtain assistance.

The Mayor said the Bench had decided to take a lenient view of the case, and both prisoners would be sent to prison for 7 days, with hard labour.

From an email received 6 August, 2012.

Please find below one picture I can find of my late father when he was the licensee at The Lord Warden pub in Deal c. 1980.

I believe that the barmaid closest in the picture above was a Lyn or Michelle Fox who lived just across the road from the pub – I may be wrong though.

A Charrington & Co. outlet in 1974. Library archives 1974

Been informed that it closed some time after October 1988, one local tells me he heard a conversation inside regarding the death of local Charles Hawtrey, which happened on 27 October 1988.

Unfortunately demolished and new buildings put on the site. Thanks to Patricia Streater for that information. She follows up by saying "The Hamilton Road end of this building was an Alldays store but is now a Co-Operative. The other end, with the address of 185 Mill Road, is a Chinese & Oriental Cuisine Takeaway and a Co-Operative shop.
