Dates from 1824.

 

In 1762 a barn behind the New Inn was the site of a theatre. This was replaced in 1817 by a purpose built theatre which provided entertainment for many years. The New Inn itself, suffered in the second world war and was later rebuilt.

 

From the Kentish Gazette, November 17-20, 1773. Article kindly sent from Alec Hasenson.

Sale advertised of the New Inn at Sandwich, now in the occupation of Samuel Ferrier.

 

From the Dover telegraph, 30 November 1833.

The last meeting for the Catch Club for this year, was held at the New Inn Assembly Room, on Tuesday evening, when a most numerous and respectable party were delighted with a series of the best modern compositions, of the most celebrated masters, by the scientific and effective orchestra, under the direction of their talented leader, Mr J Harrison. The performances this season have been so much superior, both in respect to the style as well as the execution of the music as to draw forth universal plaudits from the subscribers and visitors.

The chairman, Lieutenant Hooper, who greatly enhances the enjoyment of the company by his judicious and spirited conduct, announced that the meetings would be resumed on Tuesday, 7th of January next, and continued every alternate Tuesday, for the season.
