High Street

Upnor

Above photo, date unknown. The man in the doorway is the licensee, perhaps Christopher Holliday. The "Tudor Rose" can be seen at the bottom of the hill in the centre of the picture.

Above photo, date unknown. "Upnor Castle" is the building on the right and is next door to the Sunday school.

Above photo, circa 1900 showing the Congregational Chapel, one time Salem Baptist Chapel. On the right just showing is the "Upnor Castle."

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.
