From the Kentish Gazette 13 February 1838.

Fire.

On Saturday evening week, between the hours of seven and eight, an alarm of fire was raised in the High-street, Chatham; and in an instant several persons assembled, when the premises behind Mr. George Pegnett’s, the "Tally Ho," were found to be on fire, and which had penetrated into one of the "Tally Ho" rooms. Water was instantly procured, and plentifully supplied. Mr. Pegnett, being a carpenter, took an axe, cut away the staircase, and found that the fire must have been smouldering for at least two days. Fortunately the damage was not great; but the room in which the fire originated contained not a vestige of furniture, and the window of the room was fastened.
