Project 2014 has been started to try and identify all the pubs that are
and have ever been open in Kent. I have just started to map out the pubs
that exist or existed in Woolwich, but need local knowledge and
photographs, old and current if you have any.
As the information is found or sent to me, including photographs, it will
be shown here.
Thanks for your co-operation. Every email is answered and all information
referenced to the supplier.

From the Sevenoaks Chronicle, 31 August 1852.
ANNUAL LICENSING DAY AT ROCHESTER.
Friday being the day appointed for the general annual Licensing day, and
for hearing applications fro granting new licenses, the county
magistrates assembled in petty sessions at eleven o'clock. There were
present, the Rev. G. Davies (chairman), Capt. Baker, W. M. Smith, Esq.,
M. P., W. H. Nicholson, Esq., Major Boys, and the Rev. J. J. Marsham.
There were several applications for granting new licenses, and the
proceedings were watched with some interest by those concerned.
Mr. Arnold next applied, on behalf of Mr. William Cole, for a license
for the "Crown" beer shop, situated at Perry Street, having five
bedrooms, five sitting rooms, and two cellars, and being rated to the
relief of the poor at £30. The locality, he said, was a place of
considerable resource, being on the way to Springhead. Nineteen years ago
his client built it, and it was now his own freehold. He handed in a
petition in support of the application numerously and respectably
signed.
By the Court:- The "Rose" is the nearest licensed house, which is within
fifty yards.
The Court was again cleared, and on the re-admission the Rev. Chairman
said the Magistrates granted a license for the "Dover Castle," but not
for the "Shepherd's Delight" or the "Crown."

Manager of The Crown pub in Perry Street, Gravesend, still only takes cash.
Cash or card? A question many of us expect to hear when we're buying
our shopping or treating ourselves to an evening out.
But what about the businesses that are sticking to the past and only
accepting notes and coins? One Kent pub is doing just that.
The Crown pub in Perry Street.
The Crown, in Perry Street, Gravesend, has never taken a card payment
since it opened in 1833.
Manager Carol said the pub will never have a card machine as long as
she's there.
The 69-year-old said: "We prefer cash at the pub because you can't get
scammed.
"We check the notes, we know exactly what we're getting and customers
know exactly what they're spending.
"When you pay by card lots of things can go wrong with the machine, they
may not load or connect to the internet and sometimes they decline.
"If you have the cash to pay for your drink there is no risk of a
payment failing.
"We will never take card in The Crown, not as long as I'm here. I have
no worries about that moving forward."
Carol's comments come after a supermarket left people queuing outside
over an issue processing card payments.
She's worked at the watering hole for the last six years and opposite
the establishment is a Tesco Express and Co-op store which both have
cashpoints.
She added: "We are a pub full of regulars so everyone knows the drill.
Carol, manager of The Crown in Perry Street.
"However, if some new faces appear we explain the situation and they're
always happy to withdraw money, we never get any complaints."
