Although the premises can be traced back to 1774 the present building was
rebuilt around the 1900s and continued till about 1965 when it was closed
and then operated as a private house.

Kentish Gazette, 6 April 1852.
About three o'clock in the morning of Monday last, the inmates of the
"Two Brewers" public-house were alarmed by the discovery of fire, which
had not fortunately got much hold, and was, therefore, soon subdued. The
policeman on duty went to call up one of the lodgers by appointment, and
fancying his summons was not duly attended to, lingered near the spot,
when his attention was excited to a crackling noise that fortunately led
to an early discovery. The number of lodgers sleeping over head had a
narrow escape from imminent peril, as they might have been suffocated.

From the Kentish Chronicle 24, December 1859.
FAVERSHAM FIRE.
On Sunday morning, about three o’clock, a fire occurred at the "Two
Brewers" public-house. It was discovered by Mrs. Richard, the landlady,
who on opening the door of her bedchamber, observed the house filled
with smoke. About the same time police-constable Coe discovered it and
roused up the neighbours. It was found to proceed from a bed-room
occupied by three lodgers—two of them working at the cement mills—and
all three of them in bed at the time. By the exertions of the police and
the people of the house, the fire was put out after some damage to the
beds and furniture in the rooms.
