From Middle Street, this alleyway, one of many in the town, leads through to Beach Street. Deal is a coastal town in Kent, 14½ miles southeast of Canterbury and 8 miles northeast of Dover. A former fishing and garrison town overlooking the anchorage in the Downs, Deal was one of the Cinque Ports in 1278, and grew into the busiest port in England. Today Deal is a seaside resort, its quaint streets lined with ancient buildings. Deal Castle, an artillery fort, was built in the Tudor period and has a rose plan.
