Above picture from Google, March 2009, shows the area in which I believe
the "Jolly Gardener's used to be. The building shown, right, is
addresses number 2 Northgate. |
 Robert Smith says
the following:- Unfortunately you have the location of the pub slightly
out. Whilst the address is correct at No. 3 Northgate the pub was
located on the site of where the Cold Harbour Flats currently stand and
was on the corner of Northgate and Cold Harbour Lane (which no longer
exists).
The above photo shows the same location as the photo on your site -
from left to right are house numbers 14, 13, 12 and 11. I understand
that No. 11 was once a Victorian Pub. |
 In the above photo
to the far right you can just make out the yellow brick of Cold Harbour
flats which would have been the site of the Jolly Gardener. The
buildings seen were demolished in 1983 and sat in front of the
Sainsbury's car park. |
Traced from between 1858 and 1938, I believe this area was heavily
damaged in world war 2 and demolished shortly afterwards. Today it is used
as the Northgate short stay car park.
However, notes found on the "Poem of Canterbury" sheet says that the pub
used to be the "Queen's Arms" until about 1867.

From The Advertiser, Saturday 2 September, 1882.
CANTERBURY. DISCOVERY OF THE BODY OF A CHILD.
On Monday afternoon the body of a newly born child was discovered in
the River Stour at Cold Harbour, Canterbury. It was tied up in some
sacking in which a stone had been placed; and it was brought to the
surface through the pole of a boat coming in contact with it. The
body was discovered by two boys named Bligh, who were going down the
river in a boat. On Tuesday evening the City Coroner, Dr. T. S.
Johnson held an inquest at the "Jolly Gardener Inn," Northgate, on
the body.
After hearing the medical testimony of Mr. C. Holttum, who gave his
opinion that the child had not had a separate existence, and that no
marks of violence were apparent, the jury returned an open verdict
of "Found Drowned."
The matter, we understand, is in the hands of the police, but no
clue of the mother has yet been traced. |
