This pub is one in the list of my "Project 2014."

Unfortunately I haven't managed to find a picture of this pub at present but the research continues. 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.

 

From an email received 27 April 2022.

My Great Great Grandfather Jabez Latter was listed in the Post Office Directory for Rochester, Kent as being The keeper/landlord of the "Fortune of War," High Street, Rochester.

Unfortunately he was charged on the information of an inspector Viney,  on 20th June, 1863, with having a number of beer measures in his possession all below the standard.

The Bench fined him 2s 6d and costs and ordered the measures to be forfeited.

He died 31st December, 1866. Cause of death was alcohol related.

Regards,

Linda Holland.
