The census of 1861 refers to this pub as the "Sheppey Rifleman" so perhaps Samuel Sansom was a rifleman before taking on the license of this pub at the young age of 17.

I have also seen this given the address of Minster.

Unfortunately the pub was demolished in the 1960s.

 

South Kent Gazette, Friday 15 July 1955.

Licence Transfers.

The Bench agreed to the transfer of the "North Star," Sheerness from Charles Frank Keen to Constance Nelly Mason.
