Bricklayers Arms #RIP ⚰️
21 Best Lane, #Canterbury, #Kent
The house most likely began as a coffee house around the end of the 1700s, in 1775 it became a Trade Club for a group of bricklayers and would be registered as the "Bricklayer's Arms."
Brewers Rigdens bought the premises in 1840 for £379. A skittle alley is also mentioned as being pert of the premises in 1849.

The Anchor Pub, 1930
#SomersTown (now Chalton Street, #StPancras).
This public house was taken over by Jellicoe and Edith Neville upon which it became a ‘reformed pub’ where punters could buy food as well as drink. Its very first customers were the Archbishop of #Canterbury and the Prince of #Wales.
Their roaring laughter & wonderful spirit are such a pleasure to hear.
Father Basil Jellicoe, a prominent housing reformer and Church of England priest is seen here teaching a song.

The Tabbard Inn, #Southwark, #London, #England
Established in 1307, it once stood on the east side of #Borough High Street, at the road's intersection with the ancient thoroughfare to #Canterbury and #Dover. Originally built for the Abbot of #Hyde in #Winchester, who bought the land to create a place for himself and his ecclesiastical folk to stay when working in #London
Among its stories, it was known for accommodating people who made the pilgrimage to the Shrine of #ThomasBecket in #Canterbury Cathedral, and it is mentioned in the 14th-century writings of the #CanterburyTales by Geoffrey Chaucer.
In the early 18th century, the new inn was making good business in stagecoach traffic between London and the channel ports because of the growth in turnpikes. By the early 19th century, it was solidified as a well-renowned coaching inn. However, with the birth of the railways, it eventually closed. The building eventually demolished in 1873. #RIP ⚰️
