18 Commercial Quay
Dover
The Standard is shown next to Sharp and Enright on the right of the
photo and after
that the "Old Commercial Quay."
There is only one house shown after that in this photo. |
It faced the dockside and was there in 1862 perhaps earlier. It closed
on 31 December 1914, the licence being allowed to lapse. The lessee was
compensated with £658. 15s., the licensee with £58.5s. and the freeholder,
Dover Harbour Board, £20.
It had been closed previously, in 1876, when it was
inhabited with prostitutes.
After the final closure it became a private dwelling.

MAKING BAD WORSE. A young man named Edward John Constant, of Deal, who
had been to Folkestone, searching in vain for work, on Thursday week
returned through Dover, and at the "Standard Inn" met a man from Deal
named John James Taylor, and they both drank together. They set out to
walk to Deal. They had more beer at "Swingate Inn," and then proceeding
on the Deal road, they passed a stack of fodder near Martin Lane, which
they set on fire. Fortunately a man who had been watching them and
others, put the fire out. The men were arrested the same evening at the
"Five Bells," Ringwould, and taken before the
Cinque Ports Magistrates at Deal last Saturday when they were, on their
own confession sent for trial at the Kent Assizes. |

DOVER LICENSING SESSIONS THE STANDARD
On the case being called forward, the landlord, Mr. Waller, was asked if
he wished for a renewal of the licence, and he said “No,” but he did not
object to being renewed.
The Chief Constable said that the house was situated on Commercial Quay,
the freehold belonged to the Dover harbour Board, and the lessees were
the executors of the late Mr. E. Hogben, baker. The house was
transferred to Mr. Waller in February of last year, and there had been
transfers in 1901, 1902, 1903, 1905, and 1911. The rateable value was
£25 gross and £20 net. The nearest licensed houses were the “New Commercial Quay,” 38 yards; the “Golden Anchor,” 63 yards; the “Union,”
85 yards; and the “Barley Mow,” 91 yards.
Inspector Lockwood said that as the result of four visits he only found
one customer, at 9.10 p.m. on the 30th January.
The house was referred for compensation.
