From the Kentish Gazette, 8 July 1845.
Milton next Sittingbourne.
Oh Thursday afternoon last a fire broke out in a stable belonging to the
"King’s Arms" public-house, which, with a loft over and piggery
adjoining, was soon reduced to ashes, notwithstanding the prompt
assistance rendered by the inhabitants, aided by three engines,
belonging to the parish, the Kent, and Phoenix offices, and a good
supply of water, the tide fortunately being up at that time. The "King's
Arms" property belongs to Messrs. Flint and Co., of Canterbury, and is,
we hear, insured.

The Public Houses are for the most part in the occupation of
unexceptionable tenants, and the majority of them are doing trades, both
in beer and spirits, considerably above the average run of Country
houses. (None of them have been beer shops; they're all old Licence
Houses, with connections of long standing, thereby affording ample
security for the permanency of the trade). The Premises generally are in
a superior state of repair.
Particulars and Plans, price 1s. each, may be had of Messr's. Furleys
and Mercer, Solicitors, Canterbury; at the "Fountain Hotel;" and of Mr.
V. J. Collins, 3, Moorgate Street, London.
