Local knowledge, further pictures, and licensee information would be appreciated.

I will be adding the historical information when I find or are sent it, but this project is a very big one, and I do not know when or where the information will come from.

All emails are answered.

 

South Eastern Gazette, Tuesday 1 June 1841.

Died. May 22nd, Mr. George Brown, landlord of the "King's Head" public house, Northfleet, age 72 years.

 

From the Southeastern Gazette, 24 July 1866.

Assault by a Beer-house Keeper.

At the Police Court, on Monday, Charles Dyke, landlord of the “Little Wonder” beer-house, Northfleet, was charged with having violently assaulted Joseph Eastaby. The prosecutor was taking some refreshment, with some friends at the “King’s Head” public-house, Northfleet, when the prisoner came in in a very excited state, and expressed his intention of murdering some one. On being remonstrated with he flew at the prosecutor and kicked him in a dangerous part of his body, and also struck and kicked another person in the room. The magistrates characterised the conduct of the prisoner as disgraceful in the extreme, and as he had on a previous occasion been convicted at that court of assault he would now pay a fine of £5, and in default sand committed for two months’ hard labour.
