Deal in Kent - A potted history

Towns Motto
"ADJUVATE ADVENAS"
(Befriend the Stranger)

Deal is full of old buildings and many have an extensive smuggling heritage - under the town is a warren of smugglers tunnels - often leading to local churches! The character in the town comes from the almost random styles and eras of houses all put together. Looking back at the town from the end of the pier gives a good impression of the rich history of the town. Many of the original buildings from the 1800's are still visible notably a collection of shops on Victoria Road Formerly prospect place - one still offering a Pharmacy.
