112 Chatham Hill Chatham
The Licensing Records of 1872 stated the premises held a Beer License and was owned by Thomas Wells of Chatham. In the 1970s, this was said to be one of the best places to see local live music and the jazz sessions that used to appear on Sunday lunch times and any other music being held on Monday nights. Stuart James tells me the following:- "My parent Leon & Margaret James ran that from 1974 until it changed ownership and name in 1978/79? My Dad Leon James was an ex-copper, and Mum Margaret James was a Rep for Trumans. They've since divorced, mainly from the stress of running that pub! They introduced live music, and one of the bands I remember playing there were '64 Spoons'. The lead singer of which (Jakko) now plays in King Crimson!"
