17 High Street

For some reason this was called both the "Grapes" and the "Prince Regent" and was listed as both in the 1851 census. I am not sure whether it changed name from one to the other or just had two names.

I have a feeling though that the "Prince Regent" was also listed as Mile Town, so is indeed a different pub, but with Sheerness having two High Streets, confusion is quite easy.
