Above advert, circa 1913, kindly sent by Rory Kehoe. A photograph, presumably taken soon after a change of business ownership, which appeared on a publicity postcard. The new owner, Alfred Kemp, may have traded as a free house, offering Style & Winch's beers, or been a tenant of their nearby Medway Brewery.

 

Only one instant of this found at present.
