The premises closed as a public house in 1910 and has been used as retail ever since.

I may actually be wrong regarding the top engravings showing this pub to be there as early as 1798 as Michael Norman informs me that he has the opening date of 1883, he also says that it survived a fire in 1890 when the printers next door were destroyed.

See Dartford Map 1905.
