Kent Herald, 9 January 1845.
On Monday se'nnheight, a large party of tradesmen sat down to a supper at the
"Royal Harbour Inn," given by Mr. R. Grant, the landlord, who was lately entered
on the duties of mine host. The spread was a site to delight the epicure. The
tables literally groaned beneath the good things of life; comprising a goodly
sirloin of beef, and some splendid capons, surrounding on all sides by other
delicacies of the season, which was served up in a style that reflects great
credit in the artist of the cuisine. After ample justice have been done to the
good cheer, and the cloth removed, Richard King, Esq., was chosen chairman, and
Mr. Bailey, of the Royal Kent Baths, vice-chairman. The usual loyal toast were
drank with the usual honors; after which, the health of mine host was proposed
and drank amidst universal cheering, and was complimented on his good taste in
the selection of the viands, to which he returned thanks in a neat speech. The
worthy chairman's health was drank to which he responded in a very excellent
speech, and afterwards sang several songs in a superior style. The conviviality
of the evening was kept up by the masterly singing of Messers. Hobday, Grant,
and Maxted, whose execution of some good old melodies was admirable indeed, the
singing was so universally good that it is almost invidious in us to select
individuals. Good feeling and harmony were the "order of the day;" or, rather
night, and the party did not break up till a very late hour, when each went his
way hoping the next meeting might prove as happy as the present.

Ramsgate.
On Friday last, and inquest was held at the "Royal Harbour Hotel," Addington
place, before R. J. Emerson, Esq., coroner, on the body of Robert Cull, late of
this place, cabinet-maker, &c., who was found the previous evening on the rocks
under the cliff in front of the Royal Crescent; and from both his legs being
broken, and the body otherwise much injured, the presumption is, that the
deceased had fallen or jumped from the top of the cliff; but from want of direct
evidence in what manner the deceased came by his death, the jury returned a
verdict of "Found Dead.

From the Whitstable Times, 24 September, 1870.
FIRE.
At about half-past five on Wednesday afternoon, some premises at the
rear of the “Royal Harbour Inn,” Addington-street, narrowly escaped
destruction by fire. It seems that a domestic servant, belonging to the
house, has occasioned to go to a loft, when she found the flooring on
fire, and that a large hole had already been burnt. An alarm was given,
and P.C. Page, who was on duty near the spot, with several other
persons, at once rendered assistance, and, after a few pails of water
had been thrown on the floor, which was in flames, all danger was at
end. It is supposed that some children had got into the building, and
had been playing with fire. This, at least, is the only explanation that
can be given of the occurrence.
