Present in 1839 and James Timan from 1840-45.

 

From the Dover Telegraph, 12 December 1840.

On Sunday evening last some person or persons entered the bar of the Horse and Jockey, beer house, and stole a basin, containing 7s. 6d., in copper money. On the following day some linen that was hung out to dry at the same house was carried off.

 

 

Incidentally, the same street had another pub in it with an equestrian theme. According to Joe Harman from 1613 in Biggin Street and the corner of New Street, there used to be a pub called the "Horseshoe". This later became the "Saracens Head Inn" by 1771 and eventually ended up as the Levere Temperance Hotel. I wonder why the horse connection was in this street.
