Local knowledge, further pictures, and licensee information would be appreciated.

I will be adding the historical information when I find or are sent it, but this project is a very big one, and I do not know when or where the information will come from.

All emails are answered.

 

I have also seen this incorrectly addressed as Chatham.

I am informed by Kerry E that the pub was closed by the West Kent Compensation Authority in 1915, and by 1920 had been converted into residential apartments.

 

Southeastern Gazette, 14 June 1853.

Friday. (Before the Rev, G. Davies and J. Smith, Esq.)

Alfred Robert Baget, a discharged soldier, was committed for trial on a charge of stealing a silk apron, the property of Emma Spicer, whilst at "Grasshopper” tom-and-jerry shop, Brompton.

(A Tom and Jerry Shop was reference to a "low Beer-house". Paul Skelton.)
