Albert Road

Woolwich

Only reference I have of this at present is from the Kentish Mercury of 1881, where the paper described it as a beerhouse.

However, there are other pub in surrounding towns with the same name, but at present the licensee lists don't match with any of them.

One time Charringtons pub which had gone by 1980.

The landlord Charles Robinson got the nickname ‘Charlie Crackers’ in the Blitz because during air raids he’d run down to the shelter and leave the pub with the till open as the locals carried on supping. They would help themselves to beer (it was mainly a beer house then) and put their remittance in the till. His nickname stuck after the war until the pub closed for good.
