5-7 Claremont Place (Bryant Street 1872)

Chatham

Above photo, date unknown, showing the "Wheatsheaf" which was on the corner of Claremont Place and Bryant Street.

The Licensing Records of 1872 stated the premises held a Beer License and was owned by Thomas Lidden of Star Hill, Rochester.

I believe the area had recently been renovated and previous to 1872 the pub was called the "Balaclava."

A street directory of 1955 gave the address of 5-7 Claremont Place and the pub name of "Masons." Not sure if this is correct or not as there was a "Masons Arms" addressed at 42 Ordnance Street the same year.
