I do have reference to a "King's Head," also in Shoreham, dated 1779, but don't know whether this is the same premises as this one, this having changed name, or perhaps a misprint in that reference of 1779. The Shoreham History web site suggests that it did change name.

Once supplied by John Bligh's Holmesdale Brewery but they sold out to Watney's in 1911.
