Debi Birkin say she believe this is the site of the former pub.

High Halden map 1921

Above map 1921, from the memory of A. T. Plews, wheelwright and undertaker, 1921-71.

 

I have reference to another "Britannia" addressed in Lower Halstow, which I am sure is going to cause confusion. High Halstow and Lower Halstow are about 12 miles apart, so they are definitely different.

It is suggested that the pub was damaged by a bomb that was dropped in a nearby field around 1945, so this may have been the closure of it.
