It appears to have been tied to a brewery owned by the prominent Sandwich
family, the Wyborns to 1822. In 1764 William Wyborn, brewer, died and his
business was left to his daughter Mary, who had married John Bradley. Their son,
William Wyborn Bradley was born in 1752 William being described as "common
brewer of Sandwich." William was elected Mayor Sandwich in 1785 and died in
1788. The Sandwich brewery and its tied estate of 27 pubs was eventually put up
for "sale by private contract" by William's son (also called William Wyborn
Bradley, born 1779) as advertised in the Kentish Gazette on 10th May 1822.
It is suggested that 26 King Street was once the "Green Posts".
However the 1911 census gives the address as 16, but I believe the street
has either been renumbered or the number 26 is incorrect.
As of 2020 the numbering of this street seems to be quite strange. The
Pilgrims Hospice seems to be numbered 16A and to the left of that is the
Haven tea room at 20 and 20A. To the right of the Pilgrims Hospice is a shop
that unfortunately Google maps doesn't show. Local knowledge and a photo
required here please.
