Kings Arms, 6 Market Street, Margate
Margate pub history index
The Kings Arms was established in the
early 1800's. It was the only hostelry in town to have a wet-fish bar and
seafood stall adjoining the building. The stables still remain at the rear of
the building from the Kings Arms.
The pub had a refit in 1975, when it was renamed The Doggett Coat and Badge, The
unusual name commemorates the achievement of an ex-Landlord, who in 1958 won the
annual Thames Lightermans Race. The victor receives an ornamental red coat and
badge, first donated by a Mr Thomas Doggett in 1716. The winner also
automatically becomes a Queen's Waterman, on call for occasions of Royal
Pageantry. *** (also see the
