The Eight Bells, Dover

The Pub Eight Bells appeared since it is located near St. Mary’s church, that was restored in 1843. The only element of the church that remained untouched was the tower that is formed from eight bells. The building of the pub and the hotel were used over the years for different purposes and then officially became a pub and a hotel.
