Commercial Quay / Pentside
Dover
A "Lord Warden Tap" was evident in 1846 and 47.
The "Lord Warden" at South Pier never opened
until 1853, so this definitely predates that establishment, although a "Lord
Warden Inn" has been traced by Barry Smith in Snargate Street and
this was the tap for that establishment.

Dover Chronicles 13 March 1847.
Yesterday.
William Challins, landlord of the "Lord Warden" Snargate Street, was
summoned by Richard Knight, for permitting disorderly conduct to be
carried on in the "Lord Warden Tap," Pent-side. Complainant stated
that last Saturday night dancing was going on in the "Lord Warden
Tap" after 12 o'clock, which was the case two nights every week; and
great annoyance and disturbance to the neighbourhood was occasioned
thereby.
Defendant pleaded guilty to the charge, but said he sub-letting the
tap to another person, and consequently had not the control of the
house, though he had tried all he could do to get his tenant to keep
it orderly. If he did not keep it more orderly in future, he should
put an end to his occupancy.
The Bench said, though defender did not keep the tap, yet the
licensee was taken in his name, and it was he who was responsible
for the management of the house. However, has the house under the
immediate control of the defendant had an excellent reputation, and
as he had promised to make his present subtenant leave the tap if he
did not change his system, the Bench only fined him in the
mitigating penalty of 10s., in addition to costs.
