Only found in the census so far and George Ottaway was described as a beer house keeper and gardener.

Further information tells me the pub opened in 1841 but closed its doors in 1925.

APPLICATIONS FOR New Licenses.

Mr. Gibson (Dartford) supported an application made by Mr. Richard Jarvis, of the "Kent Arms" beer-house, Bexley-heath, and Mr. Russell (Dartford) one made by Mrs. Ann Markall, of the "King’s Arms" beer-house. The houses in question are situated close together, and are the freehold properties of their respective tenants, both of whom have carried them on as beer-houses for many years. Application had been made by both persons on previous years. Both were again refused.
