The build up of this area commenced in 1835 but Hammond was the first
definite contact made here in 1859.
Supplied by Alfred Leney Co Ltd, who bought out Thomas Walker's Phoenix
Brewery in 1859 and registered as such in 1896, until bought out by Fremlin
Brothers brewery of Maidstone in 1926, brewing at the Dover brewery ceased
in 1927, which later passed to Whitbread.

INFRINGEMENT OF LICENSE
Thomas Hammond, the landlord of the "Prince of Wales" public-house,
Chapel Hill, Buckland, was charged on the information of police-sergeant
Scutt with having his house open for the sale of beer on Good Friday, at
the 22nd, before half-past 12 o'clock, viz., at a quarter past eleven,
otherwise than as refreshment for travellers.
The defendant said that he would not deny that he had his house open;
but it was only to supply an "elevener" to some men who were working in
the neighbourhood as usual on that day, and who always came into his
house for refreshment during the forenoon.
In reply to the Mayor, the defendant said he could not read his
license, but that it had been read over to him.
Under the circumstances, the case was dismissed, but the Magistrates
informed the defendant that he must make himself thoroughly acquainted
with the provisions of his license, which he would find, laid down the
same regulations for Good Friday as for Sunday.
