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.

 

I am told that the pub ceased trading in 1959.

APPLICATIONS FOR LICENSEES.

Refused., without prejudice to any future application.

 

Chatham News, Saturday 27 August 1870.

County Magistrates, Rochester. General Licensing Day.

There were 11 new applications for spirit licences.

Mr. Hayward supported the application of Mr. Aterat, for a licence to be granted to the "Prince of Wales," Hard's Town, Chatham, in the parish of Gillingham.

Mr. Hayward said when the application was refused last year it was without prejudice. The "Dove" beer house, in the same neighbourhood, also applied last year, but he (Mr. Haywood) contended that the "Dove" had no beds, and the landlord lived in London, the person conducting the business being employed in the dockyard.

Mr. R. Prall opposed the application and supported the application of Mr. Vincent for the "Dove."

Both applications were refused.
