Project 2014 has been started to try and identify all the pubs that are
and have ever been open in Kent. I have just started to map out the pubs
that exist or existed in Gravesend, but need local knowledge and
photographs, old and current if you have any.
As the information is found or sent to me, including photographs, it will
be shown here.
Thanks for your co-operation. Every email is answered and all information
referenced to the supplier.
This page will be updated as soon as further information is found.

Southeastern Gazette, 22 March 1853.
PETTY SESSIONS.
Friday. (Before J. Saddington, Esq. Mayor, R. Oakes and C. Spencer,
Esqrs.)
Assault with Intent.
George Douglas, sergeant in the 69th regiment, was charged with a
felonious assault on the wife of Corporal Collingham, of the same
regiment.
The complainant, Mrs Sarah Collingham, who is but 19 years old,
stated that Douglas had called on Monday, at her lodgings, in
Wakefield-street, to desire her to wait upon an officer’s lady, who
wanted her children nursed. She accordingly went with him, and
entered into an agreement with the lady, in Harmer-street, and when
she left the sergeant was waiting to go with her to the "Fountain
Inn," to see her sister. He treated her there to a glass of rum, and
in the evening, at five o’clock, called again at her lodgings, when;
wishing to get rid of him, she walked out as far as the
"Prince
Regent," Peppercroft-street, where they had more rum, and, being in
a room alone, the sergeant locked the door, and assaulted her in the
manner complained of. She screamed, but no one came to her aid, and
as soon as she could get away she went and informed her husband. On
cross-examination the prosecutrix made several important admissions;
that she had changed her dress in the sergeant’s presence before
going to Harmer-street, and that in the course of the day she had
drunk, at his expense, a glass of gin, two glasses of rum, and three
glasses of rum and water; that she had gone up stairs with him at
the "Prince Regent," thinking; no harm, as he was a friend and was
present at her wedding;" and that, after the offence, they had
walked arm-in-arm down Peppercroft-street.
The Bench were of opinion that both parties had been intoxicated,
and guilty of great impropriety; but the charge before them could
not be sustained. They therefore dismissed the case.

South Eastern Gazette, 29 November 1853.
PETTY SESSIONS.
Monday. (Before W. F. Dobson, Esq., Mayor, R. Oakes, Ditcbburn, and
E. Lacey, Esqrs.)
Sarah Barnaschina, the veteran Cyprian, appeared before the bench
under the following circumstances. Mr. White elated that information
was given to him, that the woman had got possession of a £10 note,
and had sold it to Mr. Dawes, the landlord of the "Prince Regent,"
for a sovereign; he, Mr. White, made certain inquiries, and
ascertained that to a certain extent the statement was true, and Mr.
Dawes had given him up the note.
Mr. Dawes stated that the woman wanted him to give her five pounds
for the note, saving that she meant to sell it, and that she had
been offered three pounds for it; he refused to give her what she
wanted, and told her that no doubt the gentleman who had given it to
her, would find out his mistake, and claim it; but he offered to
lend her a sovereign upon it, and she took the sovereign and left
the note with him, and he had given it up to the police.
A man named Johnson, living in Peppercroft-street, stated that on
Saturday the woman informed him that she had been with two gentlemen
at his house, and that they had left behind them a £10 note, which
she had sold to Mr. Dawes for £9, he refusing to give any more for
it, lest the gentlemen might have known the number of it. He, Mr.
Johnson, gave information to the police, and Dawes hearing of that,
then and not till then gave the note up. The Bench directed Mr.
White to detain the note until he should have made further inquiries
concerning it.
