The Licensing Records of 1872 stated that the premises operated under a Beer License and was owned by Mary Ann Clift of 6 Lester Place, New Road, Chatham.

The original building was demolished in 1906 and replaced with a new build.

By 1938 the address seems to have changed to 1 Batchelor Street, so perhaps the gentlemen who did whatever round the back of Fullalove Alley, didn't quite appeal to the ladies.

The "Jolly Caulkers" celebrates those sturdy fellows who pressed oakum into the seams of a wooden vessel to make it watertight.
