18 High Street Rochester
Situated next to the Guildhall it can be traced back to 1751 with this name, previous to that it was called the "Horseshoe." The building was demolished in 1890 and municipal offices erected on the site, although it is believed the museum office is actually on the site of the public bar. I believe this was also known as the "Dukes Head and Railway Tavern" in 1854.
Local knowledge, further pictures, and licensee information would be appreciated. I will be adding the historical information when I find or are sent it, but this project is a very big one, and I do not know when or where the information will come from. All emails are answered.
