In 1872 the premises was operating a Beer License and was owned by Morris Goodman of 236 High Street, Chatham.

The 1891 census lists this at number 32.

I have reference to another "Compasses" in the High Street in 1839, which I am assuming is a different pub.

The area was demolished in the 1960s for redevelopment.
