West Street

Gravesend

This pub was present in 1580. The Mayor’s banquet was held here in 1834. It later became the "Trafalgar Tavern" some time between 1844 and 1853.

I am going to assume that it was after 1844 when the original building was destroyed by fire. I am not yet sure whether the new building, obviously on the same site, had the original name of the "Cock" before changing, or whether the new build had the new name and finally closed in 1908.

Information supplied by Tom Bains tells me that the house has been rebuilt twice, the first time in 1789 and the second time after the fire in 1844.

Information about the fire can be viewed here
