Michael Mirams informs me that the premises closed around 2011 and has now been converted into a residential property. Although recent information from Peter Checksfield says it simply remained boarded up for about 4 years and has now (2015) reopened as a Chinese restaurant called Secret Spice.

From the Dover Telegraph and Cinque Ports General Advertiser, Saturday 20 November 1852.

In the case of an application from Mr. White, Margate, for the "Victoria" at that place, permission was not granted, in consequence of the party actually intending to occupy the house being absent.

The application was deferred till Friday.

New champions of Division 1 of the Margate Pushpenny League are the "Victoria" A who finished 11 points clear of the nearest rivals "King Edward" A.

Winners of Division II were the "Clifton Arms" who won eight of their 10 matches and collected 59 points — five more than runners up "Quart in a Pint Pot."
