Greenwich

 

I am informed that the pub changed name to the "Trafalgar Tavern" between 1836 and 1840. Possibly having been rebuilt.

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.

The only reference I have found so far for this pub is in the Pigot's Directory of 1832.

As the information is found or sent to me, including photographs, it will be shown here.

Thanks for your co-operation.

 

West Kent Guardian, 16 July 1836.

The "Old George Tavern" at the East end of the hospital wharf, is about to be pulled down and a respectable builder in this town has the contract for rebuilding. The plan is already prepared; and those who have seen it, say it will be an ornament to the waterside, we hail this as a precursor to farther improvements in that neighbourhood.

 

London Courier and Evening Gazette, Tuesday 27 June 1837.

Greenwich. Trafalgar Tavern.

The "Old George Tavern" and other houses adjoining having been removed, and a new, commodious, and convenient house built on the site thereof, with extensive frontage towards the river, and thereof called the "Trafalgar Tavern."

Charles Hart (from the "Albion," Aldersgate Street,) respectfully begs to acquaint the Nobility, Gentry, and Public that this splendid new house is now open for the reception; where large and small parties can be accommodated with diners &c. in a comfortable and superior manner, and wines of a quality that cannot be surpassed, on terms, he flatters himself, that will ensure the approbation of the public. An excellent Coffee-room; and White Bait in perfection. Coach-yard and stabling.
