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.
