Above photo shows the "Park Tavern" 1944, just after it was damaged by shell file on 4th January 1944. Kindly sent by Stuart Kinnon.

From the Deal, Walmer & Sandwich Telegram, 15 September, 1858. PETTY SESSIONS Tuesday, September 9th 1858 J Hutchins of the "Park Tavern," Park Street, applied for a spirit licence. Application refused.

At the Deal Licensing Register renewal sessions 8 September, the license to this premises was refused and not granted again until 11 September 1862, I do not know the reason why as yet, probably something to do with licensee Hutchingson, although the paper below does indicate that it was open for business early in 1860.

Pikes 1908 advertise this establishment as being between St. George's Music Hall and Shirley House, Giraud & Sons.

Kelly's Directory 1934 stated that the premises at 21 Park Street was listed as the "Park Fish & Chip Saloon."

Damaged by enemy fire on January 4th 1944. The landlord and his wife were both killed, but their baby daughter and the family dog survived this direct hit.
