Above photo circa 1900, being similar to the top one, kindly sent by Glyn Head, who says it is of his grand-dad, great grand-dad and great grand-mother standing outside the pub, which he says was addressed as being at Lower Hayesden. If that's the case I may have this and the "Red Lion" Hayesden mixed. Further information says that around 1925 the beers were supplied by the Old Dartford Brewery.

Above photo, date unknown, kindly sent by Gavin Sawyer.

I also have reference to another "Royal Oak" addressed as in Lower Hayesden Lane, there may be some confusion over the licensees regarding the two.

Sevenoaks Chronicle and Kentish Advertiser 11 February 1949.

An application by Maurice William Brough, "Royal Oak," Tonbridge, was referred to the adjourned sessions on March 8, as was one by Frederick Ernest Perrin, "Rose and Crown," Hadlow.

The reference to the "Royal Oak" could well refer to the "Royal Oak" addressed as Lower Hayesden Lane. Paul Skelton.
