1 or 2 High Street / West Street

Gravesend

The Closed Pubs projects names this pub called the "Holy Lamb" and says it was present at either number 1 or 2 High Street from between 1633 and 1734.  The information being supplied by Tom Baines.

At the "Holy Lamb" a vestry meeting was held in 1734, and in 1732 Edward Thomas a Gravesend householder was ordered to be taken out of the Fleet Prison (where he had probably been incarcerated for debt) to the house of Haffel Coy at the sign of the "Holy Lamb." Haffel Coy was born in 1698 at Rotherhide and was originally a waterman. One of his babies was baptised in the St. George's church opposite in 1745, so he could still have been the licensee ain this year.
