Paul S - would this reference to the Hope Inn (previously the Paris Tap) be the one?
The following is from Mike Mead-Briggs history of the Court families of Dover, the wine merchants:
Stephen Court (my 3x great grandfather) was born 14 May 1821 and christened on 11 June 1821 at St Mary's, Dover [PR]. He was a wine merchant, working in the family business at 140 Snargate Street and became a Freeman of Dover on 22 July 1842 [DFR]. He was married firstly to Frances Phillis Bond Mead (born at Fordwich in 1824), the daughter of Charles Mead and Elizabeth (née Harvey) (see History of the Mead Family). Their intention of marriage was announced in the Dover Telegraph on 11 July 1846 and they married later that year [FM]. Stephen and Frances were to have five children (see Section 6).
Following his father's death in 1847, Stephen and his younger brother, Henry Payn Court, took over the family wine business. Henry was to die shortly afterwards, in 1851, leaving Stephen in sole control. During his life Stephen continued to expand the family business in Dover and he was to become a major property owner. At the time of his death in 1857 he owned or leased the Sceptre Inn, the Mail Packet Inn, the Burlington Inn, the Elephant & Castle Inn (Charlton), the Hope Inn (later the Paris Tap), the Royal Exchange, The Bell Inn, the Robin Hood Inn, 2 Wellington Terrace (Charlton), 3 Market Street, 137 and 142 Snargate Street, 44 Limekiln Street and parcels of property in Seven Star Street, Commercial Quay and Trevanion Street [DM]. The income from these properties alone amounted to several hundred pounds per annum.
