Dover Guildhall
The Dover corporation's hall, where borough minutes and civic accounts are kept. Its books record the yearly sums for oil to light the head of the eastern quay in winter, entered by a different clerk from the quay office's own and never read together. Thoughtful people of the county voice their doubts about its narrow prosperity elsewhere than in a guildhall.
