Otterham Quay
Upchurch
This pub stood on the Otterham Quay during the 1800s on the road opposite
the "Lord Stanley Inn."
I believe the pub was closed and sold in 1914 and have been informed that the building was demolished in 1921.

West Kent Guardian, Saturday 6th October 1855.
On the same day an inquest was held by the same coroner, at the "Anchor
and Hope," Upchurch, on the body of William Floyd, a labourer, age 40,
who was found lying dead on a brick clamp by a man named Naylor.
Deceased had been employed by Mr. Wakeling, farmer, to work a threshing
machine. On Tuesday night, after leaving his work, he went to sleep on
some straw in a field, where he was seen by a witness. He must
afterwards have left that spot and proceeded to the brick clamp for the
sake of the warmth, where, there is no doubt, he was soon overpowered
and suffocated by inhaling the noxious gas from the kiln. The jury
returned a verdict accordingly.

POLICE COURT.
Monday. Before E. Twopeny, Esq.
William Beach, 34, labourer, of Maidstone, was charged with stealing 8s.
6d., the money of Charles Thomas Golding, landlord cf the "Anchor and
Hope Inn," Upchurch. Prisoner had been lodging at prosecutor's house for
the last three weeks. On Wednesday night Mrs. Golding placed 8a. 6d. in
a box in a cupboard in a private room, the door of which she locked. On
the following morning she found that the door had been forced open, and
the money, amongst which was a florin marked with a cut across the
crown, had been stolen. In the evening the prisoner and some other men
were drinking together in the house, and when it came to prisoner's turn
to pay he did not tender any money himself, but gave a man named Packer
a florin to pay for him. The man did not notice anything particular
about the florin, but Mrs. Golding at once identified it as the one
referred to. The coin was now produced, and the mark pointed out to the
Magistrate. This circumstance led to prisoner being apprehended, when he
said he received the two-shilling piece from Mrs. Golding herself in
change when he paid for some tobacco.
Prisoner, who has been a soldier as well as a policeman, was committed
for trial. Bail was accepted.
