and 82 miles SE. of London—par. and bor., llll ac.,
pop. 8500; P.O., T.o., 1 Bank, 3 newspapers. Market-
days, Tuesday and Saturday. D. has of late years
been resorted to as a watering-place, and baths,
libraries, bazaars, and a promenade pier 1000 ft. in
length have been erected for summer visitors. The
town, however, derives its importance mainly from its
vicinity to the Downs, and the chief trade consists in
victualling wind-bound vessels. There is also a little
boatbuilding and sailmaking. D. is a great pilot
station, and the boatmen have long been famous for
their skill and daring. Deal is now a sub-port of Dover.
Henry VIII. erected three castles in the vicinity—
Walmer, Sandown, and Deal; the last, at the S. end
of the town, has been converted into a private resi-
dence. Deal is a corporate member of the Cinque Port
of Sandwich, and formed part of the pari. bor. of Sand-
wich, which was disfranchised in 1885.
