(Name to)

Old Road West

Gravesend

 

Situated on the west side of the Gravesend cemetery. Open in 1836 as the "Victoria Gardens" but changed name to the "Victoria Tavern" in 1843 when it probably got its license from being a beer house.

 

Bell's Life in London and Sporting Chronicle, 7 June 1835.

..the Victoria Gardens was numerously and fashionably attended.— The grounds have been laid out with considerable taste and judgment by Mr, Rouse, and promise to be well patronised during the season.

 

West Kent Guardian, 13 June 1835.

Public amusement, VICTORIA GARDENS, GRAVESEND.

R. ROUSE respectfully informs the inhabitants, visitors, and the public in general, that he has taken the above Gardens, and that they are Open for the Season.—SATURDAY, 13th.

 

Kentish Mercury, 14 November 1835.

THE NEW CORPORATIONS.

...extolled, Mr Rouse of the Victoria Gardens, we perceive, sells his property in consequence of the heavy loss he has experienced during the past season. The Gardens are decidedly too far from the Town to attract the daily visitors to Gravesend.
