The entire row of shops was destroyed by a flying bomb damage in 1945 killing 42 people.

The "Prince Arthur" was later demolished and a new pub called the "Clockhouse" built roughly in its place early on in the 1960s, but out of shot to the right of the road shown in the picture above.

Now part of Greater London, this area was indeed Kent before 1965. Hence, I will be adding information regarding this pub as and when I find or it is sent to me, but at present I'll be concentrating on the areas that are within the Kent boundary today.

Your help is appreciated, and every email is answered.
