There used to be a pub in Rochester called the North Foreland, a real old sailor's pub, as most pubs in Chatham and Rochester once were. It was full of cap tallies, badges, ship's crests, and other memorabilia dating back to the Great War,

We used to go to the Rochester Market on a Saturday and then spend the afternoon drinking in the North Foreland. The landlord was very protective and despite receiving some generous offers for various items wouldn't part with anything.

The pub changed hands and when it reopened, it was gone. A hundred years of history in a skip.

Looking at this review I am not sure if it is even still open.

It looks like it has now gone.
