21 Market Square
Dover
|
NEARLY a century ago this was Dover Market Square. The
old Phoenix Tavern and music hall, the tobacconist and stationers
adjoining, the lofty Carlton Club over a tobacconists. Waterloo House
and the "Antwerp Hotel" opposite, all were decorated for two big events -
the official opening by the Duke of Connaught of the new-look Town Hall
and Connaught Park, in July, 1883. |
Coloured and slightly larger version of above. |
Above shows the Phoenix extreme right, dated 1836, which seems to
suggest there was an earlier version of the pub that perhaps predates
the "Hero Tavern." Other buildings
seem to be partly demolished and was the medieval defensive tower in
Bench Street.
Further research and information shows a painting held at the Dover
Museum obviously taken from the drawing above. Shown below.
This is titled, St Nicholas Tower (left) and Alms Houses (right)
1836, painted by Rev J Maule. Which shows what in the top picture to be
the "Phoenix" being the Alms Houses in the bottom painting. |
This was erected on the site of the "Hero Tavern" following its
destruction by fire in 1863. A popular place by all accounts which opened in
1864 and was advertised as opening every night of the year. However, the
licence was objected to at the sessions of September 1864.

September, 1864.
LICENSING DAY
Among the licenses objected to was that of the "Phoenix," Market
Square, a new public-house, built on the site of the "Hero Tavern and
Music Hall" burnt down some time since. On the "Hero" being called by
the Clerk, the present landlord, Mr. Hall, applied that the name of the
house might be altered. Mr. Potts, of the "Regent Inn," objected. He
said that the "Phoenix" was a new house. It was not built on the same
ground, and he therefore thought a fresh license should not be granted.
Mr. Fox, who appeared for the landlord, said he was prepared to show
that the "Phoenix" was now standing on the same ground as the "Hero" had
occupied. After some consultation the Magistrate's granted the license.

CHARGE OF ASSAULT
Edward Dowle, landlord of the "Elephant
and Castle," Charlton, was summoned by William Edward Brown,
landlord of the "Phoenix Tavern," Market Square, for unlawfully
assaulting him and beating him, on the night of the 17th inst.
Complainant said that on the previous Thursday evening, about
half-past ten, the defendant came into his house, and went upstairs into
the concert room. He went to defendant and told him there was nothing
doing in the public room, and requested him to come down again.
Defendant, however, refused, and became very abusive. Witness left him
in the room, where he continued very noisy, and about eleven o'clock, on
his coming down stairs and continuing his noisy and abusive behaviour in
front of the bar, he (witness) went to him and requested him to leave
the house. Defendant immediately took him by the collar with both hands
and kicked him violently in the abdomen, and then pulled him down. After
releasing himself from defendant, he staggered to the parlour, where he
remained in great agony for some time, and had been suffering from the
effects of the kick ever since. He had been compelled to obtain medical
assistance.
Ellen Gertrude Brown, sister of the complainant, said she saw the
defendant take her brother by the collar of his coat and kick him.
Defendant denied that he kicked the complainant, and called
Mr. Edward Petts, landlord of the "Regent
Inn," (Prince
Regent) Market Square, who said that he saw a little
scuffling between the parties. His attention was called to the spot by a
noise in the bar. He heard Dowle say, "If you give me sixpence I'll
leave."
Police-constable Joyce: My attention was called by Dowle by the
complainant's sister, who said there was a man at the bar who was likely
to create a disturbance, and wished me to remove him. On going to the
door, I heard Dowle say, "You give me my sixpence." The landlord then
came out and endeavoured to put defendant out of the house, and in the
scuffle, which ensued they both fell, complainant uppermost. The woman
in the bar then gave Dowle sixpence, and he went away very quietly.
The Magistrates considered that an assault had been committed; but
taking into consideration the good character Dowle bore, they mitigated
the fine to 2s. 6d. and the costs, - in all 19s. - which he paid.

ROBBERY BY AN UNFORTUNATE
Eliza Anderson, a woman of the town, was charged with stealing a pint
pewter pot, the property of Mr. W. Brown, of the "Phoenix Tavern."
Mr. Brown said he kept the "Phoenix Tavern," in Market Square. He
identified the pewter pot produced as his. He could not say when it was
last in his possession, as he had a dozen pots of the same description.
All had his initials engraved upon them in the same way as that
produced. The prisoner was in the habit of frequenting his house. He
remembered having noticed her there, but could not say when she was in
the house last.
Police-constable Henry Smith said he saw the prisoner in Liverpool
Street, about a quarter to one o'clock the same morning. He followed her
to Woolcomber Street, and observed that she was concealing something in
her dress, he asked her what it was. She replied, "Nothing," and made a
pretence of holding out her dress, but in doing so she let something
fall, and he found it was the pewter pot produced, on which the
prosecutor's initials were engraved. She picket it up herself, but
witness took it from her and asked her where she had got it, when she
said she did not know. He then took her into custody and conveyed her to
the station house, where she was cautioned in the usual way after the
charge was entered, when she said the pot had been given to her by a
sailor.
A witness named Henry Russell, to whom it was stated, the "Phoenix"
was about to be transferred, said he had been in the house for the past
week an knew there were a dozen pint pewter pots. On counting them the
same morning one was discovered to be missing.
Police-constable Page said he saw the prisoner come out of the
"Phoenix Tavern" at half-past eleven o'clock on the previous night. She
passed him and wished him "Good night."
The prisoner desired the Magistrates to deal with her case summarily,
and on being formally charged with the theft she pleaded guilty.
Superintendent Coram, in reply to the Magistrates, said the prisoner
had been before the Bench on two or three previous occasions - once on a
charge of petty felony, a flower pot having been missed from the Marine
Library, but that case was treated as one of wilful damage.
Sir Luke Smithett, in sentencing the prisoner to a fortnight's
imprisonment, said he hoped the leniency of the Bench would not be
thrown away upon her, and that when she came out of prison she would
resolve to go on better for the future.

THE END OF A FIGHT
John Smith and Thomas Hutchings, two working men, were charged with
drunkenness and an obstruction of the footway.
Police-constable Corrie stated that on the preceding night there was
a disturbance outside the "Phoenix Tavern," Market Place, in consequence
of the two defendants wanting to fight. He bade them go away quietly;
but they refused to go, and defied him to interfere.
The magistrates ordered each of the men to pay 1s. fine, and 6s.
costs, or go to prison for seven days.

THE LICENSE OF THE PHOENIX
An application was made by Mr. Anscombe for permission to sell at the
"Phoenix Tavern," Market Place, until the next transfer day. The
application was opposed by Mr. Fox, solicitor, on behalf of Messrs.
Leney and Everden, brewers, the owners of the house.
The original holder of the license was Mr. W. E. Brown. His tenancy
was terminated on the 7th February last, and a new agreement entered
into by Messrs. Leney and Evenden with Mr. H. Russell; but on Mr.
Russell applying to the Bench for a transfer of the license, the
Magistrates declined to grant the application. The license, therefore,
still remained in the hands of Mr. Brown, although the latter had ceased
to be the tenant.
The present applicant, Mr. Anscombe, had it appeared purchased the
interest of Mr. Russell in the "Phoenix." He had previously made
application to sell; but as Mr. Russell had never obtained a transfer of
the license from Brown, the magistrates could not grant Mr. Anscombe
permission to sell under any authority by Russell, and Mr. Anscombe was
informed that before the Bench could consider his application he must
produce the authority under Brown, the holder of the license.
This authority Mr. Anscombe was now prepared with; but he was met
with another objection on the part of Mr. Fox, viz, that Brown had no
power to give such an authority, as he was not now the tenant of the
house, while Russell had no power to part with the tenancy, as he was
prevented by a clause in his agreement with Messrs. Leney and Evenden
from underletting.
These objections proved fatal, and the magistrates decided that they
had no power to grant permission. They advised Mr. Anscombe to come to
some arrangement with Messrs. Leney and Evenden, as this was the only
way in which a transfer of the license could be effected.

DRUNK AND DISORDERLY
Benjamin Bickley, a tramp, was charged with being drunk and
disorderly in the Market Place, late in the previous night, and
assaulting a police-constable in the execution of his duty.
Police-constable George Swaine said he found the prisoner, about
half-past twelve on the previous night, on the footpath opposite the
"Phoenix Inn," Market Square, drunk and disorderly. He was striking and
pushing people who were leaving the "Phoenix." Witness ordered him away
several times, and took the trouble to lead him away once, but he
returned again, and declared he would not leave. He had a child about
four years of age in his arms. He was then compelled to take the
prisoner into custody; when he became very violent, so that witness was
obliged to call another constable to his assistance. At the
station-house the prisoner bit his hand.
Police-constable Campany corroborated the evidence of Swaine. With
reference to the child the prisoner was carrying, he said the prisoner
treated it like a dog.
The little fellow, with the mother, was in Court. The woman was
respectably dressed, but the child's appearance bore the impression
caused by the policeman's statement, one of his eyes being blackened and
the face contused and swollen apparently from recent ill-usage.
The prisoner's only defence was that he had got a drop of drink and
did not know what he was about.
The Magistrates considered the case clearly proved, and fined the
prisoner 15s. and costs. In default, he was committed to prison for
fourteen days.
The prisoner was asked if he would permit 8s., found in his
possession, to be given up to his wife and child, but he refused to part
with it.
The Magistrates intimated that they had the power of ordering the
money to be devoted towards the prisoner's maintenance while in goal;
and they then recommended the woman to get into the Union until her
husband was released - a course which she expressed her intention of
following.

MORE DRUNKENNESS
Two men, Alfred Moke and James Cooley were charged with drunkenness
and assaulting the police in the Market Place, on Saturday night, and a
woman named Ann Lynch was charged with attempting to rescue them
from custody.
It appeared from the statement of Police-constable Harman that he was
on duty near the "Phoenix Tavern," Market Square, about five minutes to
twelve on Saturday night, when he saw the three prisoners together with
several other persons, leave the house. They were larking and causing
great disturbance by crying out "Fire, fire!" "Where are the police?"
"They can't put it out!" Their cries were calculated to create great
alarm; and he therefore spoke to them. he addressed Cooley, and told him
to go away. Cooley's response was, "Who cares for the police?" He then
laid his hand on his shoulder, when Cooley turned round and, striking
him a violent blow on the face, laid his cheek open. Another constable
named Fuhy happened to be near, and he went to Harmer's assistance, and
closing with Cooley managed to secure him. Nixon, a third constable, was
also on the spot; and on rising from the ground Harmer saw Nixon
struggling with the prisoner Moke. Harmer then assisted to put the
handcuffs on, and got kicked, but he did not know by whom, and two other
constables then coming up, the men were got to the station-house. Cooley
on the way to the station-house threatened that he would yet be the
death of Harmer.
Police-constable Fahy gave corroborative evidence, so also did the
other policeman who were called to the spot. All concurred in stating
that the assault on Harmer was very violent, and Fahy said that the
woman, while Harmer was struggling with Cooley, came and caught hold of
the constable by the hair of his head and dug her nails into his
forehead.
The prisoners' only defence was that they had been drinking, though
they denied that their conduct was so bad as the police had represented
it.
The bench fined the two men 10s. each and costs, or, in default,
fourteen days' imprisonment, and the woman 5s. and costs, or, in
default, seven days' imprisonment.
All the prisoners went to gaol.

CHARGE OR CHANGING COUNTERFEIT COIN
Walter Francis was charged with endeavouring to change a counterfeit
five shilling piece.
Susannah Humphrey said: I live in Oxenden Street and keep a shop. My
sister keeps the "Phoenix Tavern," Market Place, and I was at her house
last evening. At about seven o'clock the defendant came into the bar and
asked for a quarter of brandy in a small bottle, for which he laid down
a five shilling piece. I took the money to my sister (Mrs. Kemp) to
exchange it, and she said it was a bad one, and I told the defendant. In
reply he said he had just changed a half sovereign, and had received the
five shilling piece in change for good money. Mrs. kemp sent for a
policeman and gave defendant into custody.
By defendant: You did say that you would go back to the shop where
you had received the money and change it. You did say that you would
give me some other money in payment for the brandy.
The defendant said that he was a respectable man, and the magistrates
would see that he was a patentee of several things. He had no intention
of issuing counterfeit coin. He had come from London to Dover to see the
review, and before going away had entered an eating-house and had
obtained some refreshment. he had laid down half a sovereign and among
the change had received the five shilling piece now produced. he entered
the public-house on his way to the railway station in order to obtain
some brandy to drink while in the train, for the payment of which he had
tendered the five shilling piece.
The Magistrates said that there was not sufficient evidence to
convict defendant, the other money found upon him being all good, and
they would therefore dismiss him.

ROBBERY FROM A SHOP
James Leigh, a tramp, was charged with having in his possession some
brass taps, value £1, supposed to have been stolen. Since the prisoner
had been in custody and the charge entered on the police sheet, it had
been ascertained that the taps were the property of Mr. W. Gardner,
plumber and glazier, of Snargate Street, who was now in attendance to
prosecute.
Mr. Gardner said the two taps produced were his property. He knew
them by private marks. He last saw them on the previous morning, when he
unpacked them from a hamper, and put them into a glass case at the back
of his shop. The taps produced were the only ones he had of that
description. They were so placed in the case that they could not be
reached by anyone who did not get behind the counter for that purpose.
This was the first time he had seen the prisoner. he did not know the
taps were gone till the detective officer brought them back to him. The
cost price of them was 18s.
Detective-constable Hemmings said he saw the prisoner at the "Phoenix
Tavern," about six o'clock on the previous evening. He noticed that the
prisoner had something heavy in his pocket, and asked him what he had
got. He replied that he had nothing for sale. Witness then asked him to
let him see the contents of his pocket. he at first refused; but on
witness telling him that he was a detective officer and should take him
into custody if he did not accede to his request, he produced the two
taps which had been identified by Mr. Gardner. He said he had bought
them off a man in the street. Witness then took him into custody, and
conveyed him to the police-station, where the charge was read over to
him. He was again asked if he had anything to say, but he declined to
make any further statement.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty. He had nothing to say, however, in
answer to the charge, except what he had already stated to the officer,
viz., that he had bought the taps of a man in the street whom he did not
know.
The Magistrates committed the prisoner for trial at the next Quarter
Sessions for the borough.

WELL-MATED.
James Murphy and Susan Murphy, man and wife, were charged with
drunkenness and disorderly conduct in the Market Place on the previous
night. The male prisoner was also charged with doing damage to one of
the station-house cells to the amount of 5s.
It appeared from the evidence of police-constable Nash that he found
the couple outside the "Phoenix Music Hall" at half-past eleven on the
previous night. both were under the influence of liquor, though the
woman was the less drunk of the two. He went up to them and tried to get
them to move away quietly; but the woman refused to go, and he had to
take her to the station. The man followed, and attempted to rescue her
from custody; but did not succeed, and police-constable Nixon coming to
the spot, the man was taken into custody also, when he became very
violent, and had to be dragged to the station-house. After he was locked
up he did damage to the cell to the amount of 5s.
Police-constable Geddes, who was on duty at the station-house when
the prisoners were brought in, gave evidence corroborative of Nash's and
also spoke to the disorderly conduct at the police-station.
The Magistrates taking into consideration the quite demeanour of the
woman after she had been taken into custody, and the fact that this was
her first appearance, dismissed her with a caution; but fined the man
13s., viz., 1s. penalty, 5s. damages to the cell, and 7s. costs.

ROBBERY FROM THE PERSON
Ellen Fayres, a woman of this town, was charged with stealing a
sovereign from the waistcoat pocket of Richard James Farrant, of the
“Phoenix Tavern,” Maidstone on Saturday night. It appeared from the
statement of Superintendent Coram that the prosecutor and prisoner had
been in company together, when the prosecutor declared that he had
missed a sovereign, and gave the prisoner into custody. No sovereign,
however, was found upon her when she was searched at the station-house.
All the money she had in her possession was a few shillings for which
she sufficiently accounted.
The prosecutor was not present when the case was called; and the woman,
therefore, was discharged.

ASSAULTING THE POLICE
John Lambert, another discharged militiaman, was charged with
drunkenness and disorderly conduct in the Market Place on Saturday
afternoon, and assaulting a police-constable in the execution of his
duty.
George Raymond: I am Market Inspector and a police-constable. On
Saturday evening the prisoner was put out of the “Phoenix” public-house
in the Market Square. He caused a great disturbance on the footway, and
a large crowd assembled. He attempted to re-enter the public-house, and
wanted to fight. I endeavoured to get him away, but he refused to go,
and he remained very obstinate, I was compelled to take him into
custody, police-constable Stevens assisting me; but when we got him to
Gaol Lane he resisted so much that we had to put him on the ground and
put the hand-cuffs on him. There was a number of the prisoner's comrades
around him, and the police had great difficulty to retain custody of
him. The prisoner was very violent and kicked me repeatedly in the legs.
On being taken to the police-station he behaved very badly, endeavouring
to get loose and striking everybody who came his way. He refused to give
his name, and made use of language not fit to be repeated.
The prisoner said he was so drunk as to be perfectly unconscious of
anything that transpired. He did not know where he was till he woke up
and found himself at the police-station.
The Magistrates sent the prisoner to gaol for fourteen days hard labour.

DOVER LICENSED VICTUALLERS
The Annual Meeting of the Dover Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society
was held at Mr. I. Kemp's “Phoenix Music Hall” on Wednesday last.
Councillor George Birch occupied the chair, and the large room was
filled with members.
The Chairman congratulated the meeting upon the continued prosperity of
the Society, and mentioned several local cases which had been dealt with
during the year. He also spoke of the forthcoming County Government
Board Bill which was to be introduced during the next Session. They
trusted it would be found to be a just measure, and that strict
uniformity would be the rule on all places were excisable liquors were
sold. A delegate from the Society had waited upon their Parliamentary
Agent on the subject. He thanked the officers and Committee for their
assistance during the year.
The Secretary (Mr. H. Brown) read several letters from honorary members
unable to be present, congratulating the meeting upon the usefulness of
the Society. He also explained the clauses of the Early Closing
(Scotland) Bill, and laid a copy on the table. He earnestly urged the
Trade to organise during the year, so that they might successfully
protest against any unfair proposal being carried against their
interest.
The following report with account of income and expenditure was then
read and adopted:-
Your Committee, in presenting this their 27th Annual Report and Balance
Sheet, are glad to state that although the legitimate licensed houses
have been dull during the past year, caused not by the diminished
consumption of the excisable articles which they sell, but the continued
opening of liquor selling grocers and drinking clubs, your Society have
a substantial balance in hand to meet any emergency that may arise;
several local cases of importance have been met by your Committee during
the year and satisfactorily arranged. Your Committee thank the honorary
members for their support, and trust that each member of the trade with
consider it his duty as far as possible to study the interests of their
firms. Your Committee, in all national matters, unite with the
Parliamentary Agents of the London Protection Society and National
Defence League. During the last Session no less than twenty-seven bills
affecting the trade were brought before the House of Commons, among
these were the Licensed Premises Early Closing (Scotland) Bill, this
became law; the following, with among others, did not, viz.:- Customers
and Inland Revenue Bill; Early Closing of Public houses Sunday Bill;
Licensed Law Amendment Bill; Liquor Traffic Local Veto Bill; Lodgers'
Goods Protection Act; Parliamentary Elections Closing of Public houses;
Sale of Intoxicating Liquors on Saturday Early Closing Act; Bar
Adulteration Act; Habitual Drunkards' Act. These with others have been
watched by your Committee, and when necessary the Parliamentary Agents
consulted upon them. The Chancellor of the Exchequer stated, in answer
to a question from T. Watson, M.P., that any proposals which Her
Majesty's Government have to make for the purpose of dealing with the
licensing system would be embodied in the County Government Board Bill.
As this will effect the interest of not only the trade but the public
who use the houses, this must, when before the House of Commons, be
carefully looked after by your Executive, but if provisions are
conceived in this Bill on a fair and equitable public basis, have regard
to the rights of property and individuals, the trade will give it their
support. A deputation has already been arranged to wait upon the
prompters of the Bill on this matter.
In conclusion your Committee urge Licensed Victuallers to join the
Association as the best means of defending their interests if assailed,
to resist encroachment when attempted, and to obtain legislative redress
of grievances when suffered.
The “Healths of the Chairman and Officers” was proposed and were drunk,
and the remainder of the evening spent in a convivial manner.

DRUNK AND DISORDERLY
Owen Wallace was charged with being drunk, disorderly, and using obscene
language in the Market Square.
Police-constable G. Fogg said that he was on duty in the Market Square,
on Saturday night about a quarter past ten, when he saw the defendant
and another man come out of the “Phoenix.” They took their coats off to
fight, and he went up to separate them. The other man went away at his
request, but defendant refused. Wallace then went into the “Phoenix,”
and said he would have some more beer; but he followed him in and told
the landlady not to serve him. The defendant was ordered out of the
house, and he advised him to go away, but he refused. He took him onto
custody.
The defendant was fined 5s.

BINFIELD BROS v. TILL
this was a claim of £10 10s. for grocery. the defendant formerly kept
the "Phoenix," and now a public house in Canterbury. The defendant
pleaded that the defendant was not he, but his wife. He was at present
an undischarged bankrupt.
The money was ordered to be paid in 14 days.

It was rebuilt in 1897, the builder being challenged to perform the task
in sixty days. The corner stone was laid on 15 July that year with a bottle
containing a note; that invited the public to the first show which was
billed for the sixth day of the ninth month. The builder was W.H. Gillett
and presumably he met that target date because it certainly opened in 1897.
The-difference being, that it was then named the "Empire Palace of Variety",
a name which it retained to 1910 when it became "The Palace and Hippodrome
Southern".
In the winter of 1916-17 it was lent free of charge by Leney and Company,
to the East Surrey Regiment. Their malthouses at Maxton were likewise
converted into a recreational centre for the troops. It might be of passing
interest to mention, that in 1916, their cooperage yard in Castle Street and
their mineral water factory in Russell Street had both been bombed. Also
perhaps worth mentioning, the Oil Mill Buildings in Limekiln Street were
used at that time as the barracks of the East Surrey Regiment.
The name "Palace Theatre" was used post war so perhaps it reopened. If
so, it would not be for long. It had closed again by 1926, although it must
be said, the licence was conscientiously renewed every year up to 1942 when
it was finally destroyed by enemy action on 23 March.
