The Kentish Mercury says it was a beer house under consideration for closure due to redundancy in 1908.

The pub closed some time after 1911 and has since been demolished.

 

From the Borough of Greenwich Free Press, 18 June 1864.

Patsy Grane, a ragged urchin, living in King Street, Deptford, was charged with breaking a lamp, value £1, suspended in front of the "Lads of the Village" public house, King Street.

After hearing the evidence Mr. Maude said:- I think these republicans furnish their houses more magnificently than any other class of Her Majesty's subjects. The idea of placing such a valuable lamp in so low a neighbourhood! The landlord concurred in these remarks, and said he was afraid it was too good for the neighbourhood.

The prisoner was remanded.
