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 Gravesend, 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.

This page will be updated as soon as further information is found.

 

From an email received, 10 September, 2016.

I have just found the photograph of Crown Shades 1911. Over the top is Thomas Richard Lock the licensee, my Great Grand Dad.

My Dad was born in that pub on 10 April 1918. Thomas Richard was a Thames Lighter man somewhere and my Dad said that was how he got rich. In his Will, he left pubs to his other sons, who had worked the water with him, but not the son who later became a licensee: Gaynam Victor Lock my Grand Dad. He was only a tenant licensee according to my Dad. The other sons received freehold pubs. I know little of my Grandad, Gaynam Victor, but Thomas Richard is in Gravesend cemetery with I think his second wife.

Gaynam Lock.
