Project 2014 has been started to try and identify all the pubs that are and have ever been open in Kent. I have just added this pub to that list but your help is definitely needed regarding it's history.

As the information is found or sent to me, including photographs, it will be shown here.

Thanks for your co-operation.

 

From an email received 5 February 2014.

One of the story told me was the there gas work in front of the pub that got bombed and at the back of the pub on the other side of the Medway was the docks. Story has it that the pub was used as a way point for the German bombers so was never hit, so in one sense the pub was the safest place to be. My mother's father kept the pub open all hours for the merchant sailor's as some never returned home.
