Spot on Shoot999.   Not an area I'm very familiar with.  The only times I've been to Gravesend was a good few years back when Corralls Fuels had a depot on the riverside.  I worked at another Corralls depot but visited the Gravesend a number of times for auditing etc.  The tank farm is now operated by Conway (Bitumen).


Over to you ...

The Rum Puncheon in West Street, Gravesend.  With the statue being that of Princess Pocahontas.
As you say John, the building is over 300 years  old and has had a few change of names before reverting to its original name. The waterfront at the rear of the pub was a landing point for a lot of Thames traffic hence why to many of us  the rear entrance is more familiar.

Clue:  Water nearby


As a mariner I know it more for the back entrance. :) . I'll dive in tomorrow if no one gets there first.


Looks like it's going to be down to you Shoot999 :)

Well I'd guess a conservation zone since there is no large pub sign.  Canterbury?  The brickwork is pre-1900, but there's something odd.  It looks as though it is double thickness, but then the windows make me think the building could be much older, older than the Georgian facade.


Not Canterbury MartinR


I've just checked on GSV and in the latest view the pub name is in fairly unobtrusive black letters under the top windows.
The building is a Grade 1 listed and
can be dated to 1797.  It has had various names over the years.

Thanks Lutonman.  I was helped by the earlier confirmation that it was in Medway.  An interesting history.




Next one.   I don't think I've used this one before.


I think at least one of our members has had a pint or two in here.   :D

@Diapason, 2 Timothy is New Testament so would not appear on a Synagogue!
