Formerly the "World's End" but as yet do not know when the name changed. Rumour has it that the name was changed as every licensee who ran it died there.

Trafalgar Maid, Warner Street, Chatham could be demolished and flats built in its place.

Another Medway pub could be demolished and apartments built in its place, as the demand for housing land intensifies.

Plans have been submitted to develop the site of the Trafalgar Maid in Warner Street, Chatham which has been closed for several years.

The applicant intends to knock down the former pub and build one one-bed and five two-bed flats in its place. The new building will be the same size as the existing one.

There will also be undercroft parking and two visitor spaces next to the property, which will see the footpath reduced to a width of 2m and a street lamp relocated.

It is the latest in a series of applications which have seen pubs across the Town replaced with housing.

 

Latest news in September 2025 tells me it's still standing and hasn't been demolished but has been converted into flats.
