1910              John Thompson
1913 - 17      Thomas Butler
1924              Charles Owen - the house belonged to the Cornbrook Brewery Company.  The police 
                                               opposed the renewal of the license on the grounds that there were three                                                   fully licensed houses and three beerhouses within a radius of 339 yards,                                                   and that this one could be taken away without causing any inconvenience.                                                The other licensed premises in the neighbourhood were all better suited                                                     structurally than  the Dover Castle Inn. The only conviction against the                                                     house was 10 years ago (c.1914)

I have note saying that William Hoggarth was the landlord in 1914.
