Rochester

 

Only one instance of this found to date, if indeed the local papers didn't make a mistake in the naming of this one, as I do know of a "Black Boy" and also "Black Moors Head" in Rochester at the same time.

 

From the Kent Herald, 27 May 1824.

On Wednesday, a man, named Shaw, and late a schoolmaster at Cobham, attempting to put a period to his existence by cutting his throat in the chamber where he lodged, at the "Black Dog," Rochester, he was conveyed to the workhouse, with very slight hopes of his recovery.

This is said to be the second time he has meditated his destruction.
