Pubs of Sittingbourne and Milton |
|||
|
Do you have any information or updates on the history of any of the pubs in the town ? The List on the right is a list of public houses believed to be open in Sittingbourne and Milton in 1908. The list is by no means complete, but we hope to change that, and to publish their current status (or fate). Any trivia or photographs would be welcome !
Our book - the Inns and Pubs of Sittingbourne and Milton is available from the museum, the library or by e-mail.
