Snargate Street
Dover
The Dover and Deal Directory and Guide of 1792 mentions a Charles Marieé
as Innkeeper at the "Royal Hotel, and a Marieé is also mentioned as being
there in 1863 as well when mention is found regarding his death. The
venue is listed as in Snargate Street but seemed to end
with the death of the Proprietor, Marieé, about 1863. I believe there must
have been more than one licensee with that name. It then continued as a
coach office.
Further information received from Jeff Howe tells me that the premises
was insured by the Sun Fire Office as early as 1788 and 1789.

Mercredi 19 août 1778.
Je n’arrivai qu’à 4 h du matin à Douvres.
Encore me vola-t-on dans ce vilain endroit un paquet où était un chapeau
gris 6 p de bas de soie blanc et un miroir.
À Douvres je descendis chez M. Mariee à l'hôtel Royal, parce qu’on
m’avait dit que la diligence par laquelle j’avais envoyé mon coffre
débarquait toujours là, et point du tout. C’était à Ship Inn aussi.
Après avoir passé une fort mauvaise nuit mal couché, je fus le matin
loger au Ship Inn, où l’on est fort bien.
Nous ne pûmes partir ce jour, ainsi je fus l’après midi voir la course
qui était à moitié chemin de Cantorbéry.

Wednesday, August 19, 1778.
I didn't arrive in Dover until 4:00 a.m.
In that wretched place, a package containing a gray hat, six pairs of
white silk stockings, and a mirror was stolen from me.
In Dover, I stayed at Mr. Mariee's Royal Hotel, because I had been told
that the stagecoach by which I had sent my trunk always unloaded there,
but it didn't at all. It was also at the Ship Inn. After a very bad
night's sleep, I went to the Ship Inn in the morning, where the
accommodations are very comfortable.
We couldn't leave that day, so in the afternoon I went to see the race,
which was halfway to Canterbury.
