35 Slade Plumstead Common
This is one of the pubs in the area that is known as the "Five Idlers." The poem that goes with the story is as follows:- The Star which doesn't shine in the sky, The Woodman who doesn't cut down trees, The Ship that cannot sail the seas, The Mill which doesn't grind corn, And Who'd a Thought it!
Project 2014 has been started to try and identify all the pubs that are and have ever been open in Kent. 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.
