The off-license was originally known as the "Paperhanger's" Arms" but I do not yet know why or when it changed name.

It appears to have been called the "Papermaker's Arms" between 1881 and 1901 but the head of house was not at the time referred to as licensees but only the other trades misted in the census. Although the list I have at the "Paperhanger's" Arms" suggests otherwise.

The Papermakers Arms.

Here is a look at one historic building that has stood the test of time, although this is not a pub but an off-licence. The Papermakers Arms is still trading in its Constitution Hill site, long since it was first recorded in 1871.

The first licensee recorded is Harriet Durling, an unmarried woman born in 1836. Her brother George took over in 1873, followed by the pair's other brother Joshua in 1874. Their father George Senior was a brewer in Meopham, and he was the keeper of the "Plough" beerhouse in Culverstone Green.

The licensee here in 1964 was Frank Victor Vickery, who became the landlord of the "Monk's Head," a few doors down the road, in 1970.

Today, it has kept its name and continues to trade as an off-licence.
