ONCE IN 1840 AND STAYED AT THE YORK HOTEL AND IN 1842 WITH HIS WIFE, QUEEN VICTORIA. IN 1835 PRINCESS VICTORIA VISITED DOVER WITH HER MOTHER AND STAYED AT THE SHIP HOTEL. NEITHER THE NAME OF THE PUB PRIOR TO "PRINCE ALBERT" NOR THE INITIAL DATE OF ESTABLISHING THE BUSINESS IS VERY CLEAR. HISTORICAL RECORDS SHOW THERE ARE BUSINESSES IN THE LOCAL AREA FROM AS EARLY AS 1792 AND ARE NAMED AS FOLLOWS: EVENING STAR, THREE TUNS, CROSS ROADS AND ST. ANDREW'S CROSS. THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE WHY I DON'T GET CAUGHT UP WITH THE WAYS OF THE WORLD AND THEIR HISTORY. I LIVE THE BIBLE WAY AND AM ONLY INTERESTED IN WHAT IT TEACHES.
