Showing the pub in the livery of Jude, Hanbury & Co, of the Kent Brewery, Wateringbury. After Whitbread bought out Jude, Hanbury (which, by then, had moved production to Canterbury) in 1929 the former Kent Brewery houses were transferred to Frederick Leney & Co, of the Phoenix Brewery, also in Wateringbury, which Whitbread had bought out 1927.

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.

 

Kent & Sussex Courier, Friday 25 October 1935.

The Merry Boys.

An application was made to the Bench to change the name of the "Mitre Inn," East Peckham, to the "Merry Boys." Mr. F. Marchant on behalf of the owners, Messrs. Leney and Co., Wateringbury, remainder the Bench that the "Merry Boys" was closed down last year. They thought it would be a pity to let such a unique name lapse.

The Bench acceded to the request.
