Dover Packet Stair
The packet stair is the landing on Camber Quay where Dover's passengers step ashore. Porter Ned Coppin, who wears the brass ticket, looks after luggage, and arrivals are told to turn down every other offer. A coffee stall run by Kit Cullen, set where Packet Lane meets the quay, serves a cup and a roll before daylight, and Customs Row, with its offices for travellers, lies close by.
