Former Royal George 1952

Above photo, circa 1952, showing the Boy's Brigade (organised by the Baptist's) The house shown on the Station Approach Bridge was once the "Royal George."

 

Originally built and opened as the "Royal George" around 1854 by J. Durrant. However in 1864 his widow sold the pub to the South Eastern Railway Company to be used by the Station Master as his house of residence.

 

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.
