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.

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

WOOLWICH.

Melancholy Death from a Fall.

Henry Rodbert, a married man, 41, King-street, Woolwich, having been drinking at the "Trafalgar" public-house on the 16th inst., he left there about seven o'clock in a state of intoxication, and on his way home called and took a glass of ale at the "General Havelock" beer shop, and then proceeded down Bowling-green-row and fell into the back yard of one of the houses in Chapel-street; he was picked up and carried home. Dr. Stuart was in attendance and pronounced him seriously injured in the back of the head, which injuries soon proved fatal. An inquest was held on the body at the "Prince Regent," King-street, and a verdict of "Died from injuries on the head from a fall," was returned.

ANOTHER CASE.

Mr. David Mathews appeared to a summon, charging him with having his house, the "Prince Regent," public house, King Street, Woolwich, open for the sale of beer, &C., between the hours of one and four o'clock in the morning. He said that his brother, who had charge of the house at the time, had been to see his wife who was seriously ill, and did not get home till one o'clock, it taking him some little time after to clear the house. Police Constable Pickles (acting sergeant) said that he heard a noise inside the house and knocked. Someone asked who was there, and he said "Police," the reply being "You’re no policeman; you're a soldier." Witness then sent a constable round to the rear of the house, there being a back way and he met four men coming from the house.

Mr. Traill adjourned the case for a week for the attendance of defendant's brother.
