Earliest 1777-

 Brewhouse Tap

Latest ????

Upper End of Town

Sittingbourne

 

Evidentially the pub was also known as the "George Alehouse" and the name suggests that the "George" was brewing on the premises at the time and this was the tap room to that place.

At present I do not know the locations of the "George Alehouse" and the "George Inn," but I would assume they were relatively close together.

 

Kentish Gazette 22 March 1777.

NOTICE. SITTINGBOURNE, March 21, 1777.

Begs Leave to acquaint his Friends in Particular and the Public in general, that he has fitted up the said "George Inn" in a neat and commodious Manner for the Reception of such Company as shall please to honour him with their Commands.
