4 High Street

Gravesend

Above photo, date unknown showing the former pub. Kindly supplied by John Hopperton.

Originally called the "Saracen's Head" as far back as 1514, changed name to the "King's Head" in  1662 and lastly changed name again between 1727 and 1880 to the "Imperial." The pub finally closed in 1909.

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.
