Whilst Charles Watson was licensee, watercress was sold from their
stables and they also had a fish and chip shop where the present car park is
situated now. They also advertised that the premises was an ideal
accommodation for cyclists. The premises boasted a billiard table at the
time as well.
I have just added this pub to that list but
your help is definitely needed regarding it's history.
As the information is found or sent to me, including photographs, it will
be shown here.
Thanks for your co-operation.

Kent Messenger & Gravesend Telegraph, Saturday 14 October 1916.
Dartford Police Court.
The Light at the Inn.
Albert Edward Smith, the "Ship Inn," Sutton at Home, was summoned
for not shading his light on September 23rd (a raid night.) P.C.
Woodham said at 10 p.m. a bright light was coming from the rear of
the inn.
The solicitor for the defence asked witness why he did not go inside
when requested by defendant.
Witness said the beam of light was evident from outside.
The solicitor:- Was anyone else present?
Witness:- Yes, and man named Agar, who agreed there was too much
light.
The solicitor:- I put it to you that Agar said there was nothing
wrong with the light, and that is the reason why he is not here this
morning.
Witness demurred:- Defendant's solicitor said there is an impression
abroad, which was over-cautious, that no light whatever was to be
visible from outside. Had the constable gone inside, as requested,
he would have agreed the lights was sufficiently shaded.
Defendant gave evidence, but a fine of 40s was imposed.
