Brook

 

At present the only reference to this pub has been from Pigot's directory, which unfortunately didn't give an address other than Brook. Knowing there is a Brook Street in Chatham and have confused the two before now, I am hoping that the information below is regarding the pub in this village and not the "King's Head" in Chatham.

 

South Eastern Gazette, 20 November, 1860.

COUNTY PETTY SESSIONS.

Wednesday. (Before the Revs. G. Davies and J. J. Marsham, Captain Savage, T. H. Day and T. H. Baker, Esq.)

Charles Patton, who had the appearance of a railway labourer, was charged with the following cases of robbery.

The prisoner had been lodging at the "King’s Head" public-house, Brook, for some weeks past, and was well-known to the other lodgers. On Tuesday morning at an early hour he rose and collected four pairs of boots belonging to the other lodgers in the room, with which he made off while they were asleep. On Supt. Everist hearing of the robbery he went after the prisoner, and succeeded in capturing him near Gravesend with the boots in his possession, one pair of which he was wearing.

Two months’ hard labour.
