138 Ordnance Street (134 Front Row 1891 )(65
in 1861)
Chatham
The pub has also been referred to in the census of 1891 as the "New Fox and Hounds" which would
indicate another pub predating this one, the "Old
Fox and Hounds" being addressed at 3 Perry Street. However, Perry Street
and Ordnance Street join each other where the "Fox"
is now.
The Licensing Directory of 1872 says the premises was operating under a
Full License and was owned by Mary Elizabeth Lock Beveridge of Ramsgate.
On the census of 1851 the entry for this was just under an entry for what
looked like Upper Whittaker Place, if that makes any sense to any locals of
Chatham.
