204 Eastcourt Lane

Gillingham

Above photo, date unknown by Andy Johnson.

I have reference to another "Sportsman" in nearby Twydall which may be the same pub. Local knowledge required.

According to the Lost Pubs Project the pub was previously known as the "Eastcourt Arms." Further research tells me it opened as such on the 10th September 1956.

It was reported on http://www.bestpubs.co.uk on September 4, 2005 that:- The pub has been closed down for a couple of years now and is waiting to be developed into flats etc., recently it was badly damaged by a fire which two boys got seriously burnt and are still going for treatment, the boys are from the area.
