H O Vallance's Napier Brewery, Sittingbourne. However, in 1905, the
Vallance family appears to have lost its enthusiasm for the business, as
they sold out to Style & Winch's Medway Brewery, Maidstone. |

Clean sheet after seven pubs raided.
A "MOB-HANDED" police operation to crackdown on drug use in Sheppey pubs
has left a bitter taste in the mouths of some landlords.
At 9.15pm on Thursday, December 9, simultaneous raids were carried out
at the "Prince of Waterloo," the
"Highlander" and the "Kings Arms" in Minster.
Later that night The "Shurland Hotel" and the
"Castle Inn" in Eastchurch and
The "Nore" and the "Castle Tavern" in Sheerness were visited by officers and
drugs dogs.
Over the course of the evening, just three men were searched – one each
in The "Shurland," the
"Castle Tavern" and the
"King's Arms" – but none were
found to be carrying drugs.
Sergeant Stefan Martin of the Island Neighbourhood Team said: "Although
we didn't find anyone in possession of drugs on this occasion we found
evidence of drug use in some of the pubs. We will continue to work with
the licensing officer and pub staff to prevent drug use and violence."
Mr Martin said police will work with landlords to "create safe
environments in which our communities can socialise".
