Further information from Rory Kehoe says that the "Monastery Inn" and "Three
Stags" are both shown on the Ordinance Survey Map of 1874. The
"Monastery Inn" on the corner of Church Street, St. Paul's, and Monastery

They were situated almost opposite each other.

Canterbury. Fatal Fall From a Scaffold.
On Friday evening for 27th ultimo, Mr. Coroner Delasaux held an inquest
at the "Monastery Tavern," Longport, on the body of Edward Hadley, age
73, a builders labourer.
It appeared that, on the afternoon of the previous day, the deceased was
standing on a ladder reared against a house and Castle Street, on which
he was at work, and while in the act of reaching out for something on
the building, the ladder slipped and fell to the ground, he falling with
its.
He was picked up, bleeding from both ears and insensible, and was taken
to the hospital where he died shortly after 5 o'clock.
