Only seen so far the once, and hopefully not to be confused with the other two pubs with the same name.

 

From the Dover Telegraph, 11 July 1840.

SUICIDE.

On Monday and inquest was held at the "Star", Round Tower Street, before Mr. G. T. Thompson, the Borough Coroner, and a highly respectable Jury, on view of the body of Jane Blake, spinster, who died on Sunday, in consequence of having taken poison the previous day. A long and tedious explanation of witnesses took place; but the substance of what transpired was simply as above stated.

Verdict-"That the deceased died from the effects of poison, taken while labouring under temporary insanity."
