Stag and Hounds

Above photo, date unknown, kindly sent by Barry Flood. The plaque under the words Burton Beers says 1813, suggesting the date of the building.

 

I have only found the one reference to this establishment at present and that was in the Licensing Records of 1872 where it was stated the premises held a Beer License and was owned by (Messrs Truman Hanbury & Co) Robert Hanbury Charles Addington Hanbury Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton Bart: Edward North Buxton Arthur Pryor and Henry Villebois, Brick Lane Spitalfields London.

Further research tells me that it stood on the corner of Whitakker Street.

 

From the Black Eagle Journal.

W G Styles, licensee of the "Stag & Hounds," Chatham, died July 7th, 1961. Previously the licensee of the "Ordnance Arms," Chatham until in 1960 moving to the "Stag & Hounds."
