It's the way brewers are going keeping prices so high that people cannot afford to use pubs then selling to property developers, this is a great pub for music and will be sadly missed.

   shoot 99 there was the Black Moors Head in King St the Lifeboat in Hoopers Lane the Foresters on Maidstone Rd the Kings Arms on Maidstone Rd the one you mentioned St Peters St was the Masons Arms, The Rising Sun still there on the Delce Rd

shoot999:
Pretty much just leaves the Man of Kent in John Street and the Granville on Maidstone Road. Just off the top of my head there were three others on Maidstone Road between East Row and Rochester Avenue; which had the Greyhound. Then the Morden Arms, first in Queen Street; where my dad was the resident musician in the 50s and 60s; and then in the new John Street as Morden Arms/High Span. Think there was another pub in Hoopers Place as well; plus the one at the junction of Ross Street and St Peters Street.


Whilst the number of pubs is constantly decreasing everywhere, when you look at maps of Troy Town from the 40s and 50s its not surprising in Troy Town given the  massive loss of footfall.
