Kentish Independent, Saturday 22 November 1845.

Woodman Inn, George Street, Greenwich.

Henry Solomon (late of the "Lord Nelson," Old Kent Road,) respectfully announces to his friends and the public generally that he has taken the above well-known house, and hopes, by strict attention and civility to merit a share of patronage, assuring them, also, that every article supplied by him will not only be first-rate quality, but retailed at the lowest possible remuneration price.

N.B. Dinners dressed at the shortest notice for large or small parties.

 

Kentish Mercury, Saturday 15 April 1854.

Henry Longley, painter, residing at 21, Panton Street, London, was charged with attempting to utter a counterfeit half crown.

From the evidence of Mr. C. E. Watkins, landlord of the "Woodman Inn," George Street, Greenwich, it appeared that the prisoner, who was rather the worst for liquor, came to the bar of that house and asked for a glass of pale ale; he was served, when he threw down what appeared to be a half crown, which his wife talk and looked at. He (witness) then took it, and at once saw that it was counterfeit, and he told the prisoner so, who at once said that he had some pence, and wanted the coin back. Witness refused, and gave him into custody of police constable 190, whose evidence was to the effect that the prisoner when so taken declared that he did not know that it was bad, and on him were found in good money 8s. and some pence. The prisoner now persisted in the same story, and also as to the correctness of the address he had given. He was remanded to the next day, for enquiries as to his character, &c.
