Earliest 1692-

King's Head

Latest 1727-

(Name to)

12 Orange Street

Canterbury

 

Yet another "King's Head" comes to light, and it is suggested that this became the "Prince of Orange," date of change as yet unknown.

I already have listed two other pubs with the same name, and also showing with different licensees in 1828, so I am going to assume that this is yet another "King's Head," and listed in the Pigot's Directory of 1828 and 1832 under Inns and Hotels, unfortunately no house number was given.

I believe this also had a "Tap" in Lamb Lane.

The other two being the "King's Head" in Northgate Street, and the "King's Head" in Wincheap Street.

 

Included in the 1692 List of Canterbury licensed houses, the "King's Head," 12 Orange Street. In the following year the Billeting List gave the inn 8 soldiers.
