Fox, 182 Beach Street, Deal

Directory of Pubs in the UK, historical public houses, Taverns, Inns, Beer Houses and Hotels in Deal, Kent .

Jane Robinson of The Fox 182 Beach Street,Deal is my 3rd great grandmother on my paternal side. One of her daughters, Susannah Robinson (1823-1884), married Stephen Henry Atkins (1826-1868), they ran the Noah's Ark in Deal mentioned in a 1855 directory and two earlier copies. The 1851 census has them at Number 1 Ark Lane, with lodgers, travellers. I assume this is the Noah's Ark. He is listed as Victualler *
