PUB LIST PUBLIC HOUSES Paul Skelton

21 Church Street

Greenwich

British Queen 1881

Above photo 1881, kindly sent by Liz Calder.

 

Also addressed as 16 Church Street in 1871 census, but 21 Church Street till 1891, when also addressed as at the corner of Thames Street. I am informed that the building has been demolished but as yet don not know the date.

 

Project 2014 has been started to try and identify all the pubs that are and have ever been open in Kent. I have just added this pub to that list but your help is definitely needed regarding it's history.

As the information is found or sent to me, including photographs, it will be shown here.

Thanks for your co-operation.

British Queen pewter mug

My Mom told me that she remembers that this was her grandfather's/ great grandfather's mug that he used to drink from. She just passed in December at age 93, so I regret not asking her more information about it. It is quite a heavy mug. I'm guessing pewter.

British Queen pewter mug stamp

It shows the stamp marking of PINT and a shield with a crown above it....with the letter V/ R on either side of the shield and the #2 below the shield.

British Queen pewter mug

This is the bottom of the mug. The inscription reads.... British Queen Church St. Greenwich.
