This pub was here 1694-1741 as far as my information has found. However, I have found reference to the death of John Warren in 1907 who it was said was from this premises in 1907. However, the information doesn't make clear whether he was the licensee or indeed the premises was still a public house or just retained the name of "Royal Oak."

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.

Kent & Sussex Courier, Friday 13 September 1907.

Died at the Bin.

A hop picker, named John Warren, late of "Royal Exchange," West Street, Gravesend, died suddenly while at work in a hop garden at Goblands Farm, Hadlow, on Wednesday afternoon.

The man was seized with a fit while having breakfast on the previous Saturday, but soon recovered and went to work again. About 5 p.m., on Wednesday deceased was holding up a poke for the measurer, when he suddenly fell down, gave a long breath and expired.

The Coroner, after having the circumstances reported to him by Police Sergeant Letthem, did not consider an inquest necessary.
