Bridge Approach/High Street Strood
In 1869-70 the pub was part of a consortium who were advertising their goods of selling tea in response to grocers' selling beer and wine. (Click for further details.) The "Bridge Tavern" stood on the corner of the Canal Road on the north approach to Rochester Bridge and was later the site of the "bridge Hotel." Locals in the know say that Sammy Davies Junior stayed here when in Britain and said he wanted to keep a low profile and didn't want the publicity.
