Loggerheads sign

The above shows the sign of the "Loggerheads" before it was demolished in 1908 for street improvements.

 

South Eastern Gazette 02 July 1839.

Two attempts have been made to break into the "Logger-Heads" public-house, Tonbridge, within six weeks; the thieves appeared to have been disturbed, however, on each occasion.

 

From an email received 4 October 2014.

Dear Mr. Skelton,

I do not know whether the "We Three Loggerheads" pub is the same as the one called "Loggerheads" in Tonbridge in 1835 but the latter pub had been owned by the Rev. Pinkston Arundel French and his wife Susannah. A legal agreement was made between them and Thomas Whitmore a farmer and currier (he owned several tanneries) of Westerham, Kent in 1835.

Regards,

(Mrs.) Margaret Davison.

 

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

As such I have found a picture of the pub, but to date have no other information. 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.
