Ind Coope & Co Ltd purchased the pub from Budden & Biggs Brewery Ltd by conveyance and assignment dated 23 March 1931. The pub held a 6 day full license. At the same time they also purchased land at Flushing Street which did not hold a license.

I am informed that the building has been demolished, but as yet do not know when.

A protection order in respect of the "Waterman's Arms," Milton, from Lesley Thomas Mudd, a representative of the brewers, to John Maxwell Roberts, was granted at Sheerness Magistrates Court on Monday.

East Kent Gazette, Friday 17th February 1956.

Full Licence for "Railway Arch."

The removal of a full licence of the "Waterman's Arms," Milton, to the "Railway Arch," Sittingbourne - formally holding only a beer and wine licence - was agreed at the annual licensing sessions at Sittingbourne Magistrates Court on Monday.

Mr. D. A. I. Ardizzone, who appeared for Mr. William George Luckhurst, said that if the removal was granted it was intended to close the "Waterman's Arms."

The "Railway Arch" was licensed for the sale of beer and wines only. The trade of the "Waterman's Arms" had decreased because of a considerable amount of demolition in the area. There was no question of increasing the number of licensed premises in the area. Certain alterations to the "Railway Arch" were approved in July last year and these would make it a really first class house.
