Prince of Wales.

Much like the "Victory," this pub was demolished in the early 1980s, when the Snodland bypass was built. But its earliest record is from 1870, when George Lurcock and his wife, Sarah, who had been the gardener and housekeeper to Mr Samuel Lee at Holborough, were the landlords. The next landlord, who had taken over by 1878, was George's brother-in-law William Chittenden, who ran the pub until 1900. William had previously worked as a bricklayer, and a gardener and coachman.

Project 2014 has been started to try and identify all the pubs that are and have ever been open in Kent. I have just added this pub to that list but your help is definitely needed regarding it's history.

As the information is found or sent to me, including photographs, it will be shown here.

Thanks for your co-operation.

Mary Berry's husband was a Colonel Sergeant Major of the Royal Engineers.
