The Pound
East Peckham
Above photo, circa 1913, kindly sent by Rory Kehoe. As the wall signage
declares, when this tranquil village photograph was taken, the "Mitre"
was a tied house within the estate of Jude, Hanbury's Kent Brewery,
Wateringbury. |
Above postcard circa 1918, kindly sent by Rory Kehoe.
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. |
Above map 1868. |
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.

South Eastern Gazette, 11 September, 1860.
Petty Sessions, Sept. 3. Before J. Savage, Esq., chairman, Lord
Falmouth, the Hon. and Rev. Sir F. J. Stapleton, Bart., Col.
Fletcher, W. Lee, Esq., M.P., R. Tassell, J. W. Stratford, and M. H.
Dalison, Esqrs., and Capt. Cheere, R.N.)
Thomas Lawrance, of the "Mitre" beer-shop, Poundfleld, applied for a
spirit licence. He was supported by Mr. W. S. Norton. It was shown
that the road at times was so flooded that persons could not go to a
licensed house without wading through water to a considerable depth,
and that it was an increasing locality. The license was allowed.

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. |
