217 High Street
Chatham
The Licensing
Records of 1872 stated the premises held a Full License and was owned by
Edward Winch of Chatham.
I am beginning to believe there may have been two pubs with this name in
the High Street during 1793-32+. The other reference I have is to a "Ship
Inn," in Wright's
Topography of 1838. However, they could be one and the same and a road
renumbering.

South Eastern Gazette, 24 April, 1860.
CITY PETTY SESSIONS.
Saturday. (Before the Mayer, J. L. Levy, S. Steele, W. Manclark, R.
Winch, F. Furrell, J. Thomas, H. Everist, G. Lowrey. and H. Everest,
Esqrs.)
William Stray and Mary Ann Stray were charged with assaulting
Elizabeth Moule. (I have reference to a
William and Mary Ann Stray of the "Windsor
Castle" in Maidstone in 1860. Paul Skelton.)
Complainant, who exhibited a serious black eye, said she was at the
"Ship Tavern," Chatham intra, about a quarter to twelve at night,
accompanied by a female named Morton. Mrs. Stray served them with
two glasses of brandy and water, and on complainant asking her how
she was Mrs. Stray struck her in the face two or three times. Mr.
Stray then came up and without saying a word struck her in the eye
and kicked her out of the house. On the part of the defendants it
was alleged that the plaintiff had given them great provocation, but
no proof of this was adduced beyond the fact that Moule, who was a
married woman but had left her husband, was ordered out of the house
both by Mrs. and Mr. Stray, and refused to go. Each of the
defendants was fined 5s. and costs.

Kelly's Directory of 1903 give the "Kent
Arms" with the same address as this, so it may have changed name between
1901 and 1903.
