From an email received 19 March 2014. Hello.
My Grandparents ran the 'Rose Inn' 25 High Street, St Lawrence, Kent,
up until when my 4 elder siblings were young. My sister who was born in
1957 remembers playing in the grounds so it must have been up until the
early 1960's when they moved back to London.
I attach a photo of my Grandparents (Alfred Bertram (Bert) and Louisa
Cooper) behind the bar.
Kind regards,
Don Shrimpton. |
Post Office Directory 1874 gives reference to a "Rose" at, St. Lawrence.
The last licensees Alfred Cooper and family sold the pub in 1966 to
builders who demolished it and a petrol garage was built on the site, but
this appears to have gone now (2014) and a Tesco store is now occupying the
location. However, further information sent to me from Pamela Tyrie, tells
me that he father Tom Nicholson was the last landlord of the pub, and held
the license from between the summer of 1967 and left in October 1968 after
which the pub did close.
