14-16 High Street
Old Brompton
The building above was once the "Navy Arms" public house. The current
building is on 2 plots and was built in the early 20th century. The earlier
pub had been only on the left hand plot. After the pub closed (I think soon
after WWI) the building became a British Legion Club and was operating still
as this in 1926.
Ind Coope & Co Ltd purchased the building from Budden & Biggs Brewery Ltd
by conveyance and assignment dated 23 March 1931. Today (2010) it is run by
the Kent Autistic trust.
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.
