16 Strond Street

12 Strond Street

Kept by Holmes in 1791 and an outlet of Shepherd Neame at the closure. It stood opposite the old harbour station with a passageway to Custom House Quay on one side and the "Royal Mail Hotel" on the other, 27 yards away. I sometimes came across a "Dragon Inn" which I have presumed to be the same. Bagshaw's Directory and also Melvilles Directory refers a pub in Strond Street called Dragon and Henry Hogben and Stephen Court respectively.

Shepherd Neame were the lessees from Dover Harbour board in 1938 when it was referred. With eight other fully licensed houses within two hundred yards, or fifteen within four hundred yards, the result was inevitable. Compensation was paid on 24 December that year. If still present, the property would have been removed in 1951 together with the remainder of the street.
