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 Plumstead, 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.

 

I have found reference to a "Defiance Fountain" in Plumstead as well, both with the address of Plunstead Road they could well be the same.

 

The Kentish Independent, Saturday, 10 July, 1880.

A Violent Rogue.

Christopher Hyslopp, 19, a labourer of 132, Plumstead Road, was charged with being drunk and refusing to quit the "Fountain" beer shop in the Plumstead Road, also with assaulting the landlord, Mr. John Plummer and Police Constable Hooper, 87 W.D.D.

Plummer said that a quarter past 8 o'clock prisoner came into his house and created a disturbance, and struck both him and his son, giving the latter a black eye. Prisoner knocked witness down, and was totally unmanageable. This was corroborated by prosecutor's son and the Constable.

Prisoner said the landlord struck him first.

The police proved a former charge of felony against him; and Mr. Balguy fined him 20s. or 14 days.
