The Licensing Records of 1872 stated that the premises held a Beer License and was owned by George Stevens of Strood.

The building was demolished in the 1960s along with several other houses in the street.

 

Local knowledge, further pictures, and licensee information would be appreciated.

I will be adding the historical information when I find or are sent it, but this project is a very big one, and I do not know when or where the information will come from.

All emails are answered.
