Local knowledge, further pictures, and licensee information would be
appreciated.
I will be adding the historical information when I find or are sent it,
but this project is a very big one, and I do not know when or where the
information will come from.
All emails are answered.
The Licensing
Records of 1872 stated the premises held a Beer License and was owned by
John Coombes.
I am informed by Tony Smith that the pub disappeared in the 1970s to make
way for a shopping centre.

Maidstone Telegraph, Saturday 9th July 1870.
Rochester and Chatham.
Police Court, Monday, before Mr. Guise, "Stipendiary Magistrate.)
George Jarvis, son of the landlady of the "Prince Albert"
(sic) beer house,
Fair Row, High Street was charged with assaulting a
Royal Marine, named Mark Wirman, and set in his dog on him. Mr
Stephenson, of Gibraltar place defended the accused. Mr.
Guise said the conduct of the defendant, in setting the dog to worry the
complainant, was not that of an Englishman. He considered he should not be doing his duty if he did not sentence him to
21 days hard labour.
Mr. Stephenson ask the Magistrate to reconsider his decision, and impose
a fine on the defendant, who was a very
respectable man, and had never been in such a position before.
Mr. Guise, however, refused to accede to the application, remarking that
he had doubts whether he ought not to have passed
a more severe sentence on the defendant.

From an email sent, 1 August 2022. Hello.
My name is Brian Doolan.
I bought this clock about a year ago, at an auction.
Do you know anything about Mr & Mrs Daniels, whose names are on the
clock, so I can date when they were the Landlords?
Many thanks, Brian Doolan. |
