Dates from at least 1790.
In 1762 a barn behind the New Inn was the site of a theatre. This was
replaced in 1817 by a purpose built theatre which provided entertainment for
many years. The New Inn itself, suffered in the second world war and was
later rebuilt.
The Universal British Directory of 1790 stated that the inn was an
assembly for dancing and cards once a month, and for cards once a fortnight,
during the winter.

From the Dover Telegraph and Cinque Ports General Advertiser, Saturday 30 November, 1833. Price 7d.
The last meeting for the
Catch Club for this year, was held at the New Inn Assembly Room, on
Tuesday evening, when a most numerous and respectable party were
delighted with a series of the best modern compositions, of the most
celebrated masters, by the scientific and effective orchestra, under the
direction of their talented leader, Mr J Harrison. The performances this
season have been so much superior, both in respect to the style as well
as the execution of the music as to draw forth universal plaudits from
the subscribers and visitors.
The chairman, Lieutenant Hooper, who greatly enhances the enjoyment
of the company by his judicious and spirited conduct, announced that the
meetings would be resumed on Tuesday, 7th of January next, and continued
every alternate Tuesday, for the season.

CORONER'S INQUEST
A most distressing accident happened, on Wednesday, to a little boy
about 11 years of age, the son of Geo. Hawkes, drayman to Mr. R. S.
Cramp, brewer, of Ramsgate, who had been sent to Sandwich with a load of
beer. On returning, the boy had obtained permission of his father to
carry the whip and walk along with the horses. In attempting to jump on
the rods of the wagon (as he had seen his father do) he slipped off, and
the wheels passing over his knees crushed them dreadfully; and, shocking
to relate, he bled so profusely as to cause his death in a few hours. He
was taken to the "New Inn," and had surgical assistance immediately, but
without avail. An inquest was held the following day at the above Inn,
before R. J. Emmerson, Esq., coroner for the borough, when the evidence
of the above facts was adduced, and a verdict of Accidental Death was
recorded.

SELLING DRINK DURING PROHIBITED HOURS
Henry East, landlord of the "New Inn" was charged with keeping his
house open during Divine Service on the 17th inst.
E. Buss, Chief Constable, said he visited defendant's house about
eleven o'clock on the 17th inst., and found Bowes Grey, a porter at the
Railway Station, drinking beer. No other person was in the house. Saw
defendant's wife, who was coming down stairs, and told her he should
report the case. She said that during the time she was upstairs with her
husband, who was ill, her little girl drew the beer, and on asking the
child, she confirmed it.
The defence was that the child drew the beer in the absence of the
mother.
The Justices considered the case proved, but under the circumstances
only fined defendant 1s. and 12s. costs.

I also have listed an "Old and
New Inn" at 18 Delf Street. This may be a different pub, but the number
could be a misprint or the street numbers could have changed and the two
pubs are one and the same. Further research or information should tell in
time.
