'Fighting Cocks' PUB - East Wickham
« on: Thursday 23 December 04 09:27 GMT (UK) »
Has anyone ever heard of this pub?
It could have cahnged it's name since the late 1800's.
Could be/have been in Wickham Lane.

Thanks

The Fighting Cocks was in Wickham Street.

Find Upper Wickham Lane, Bexley on Google Maps.  Zoom in and look for St Michael's Church.  Almost opposite (to the west) is Wickham St.  Trace this further west to a bend.  Where it says, "What driving school is this?" is approximately where pub was.

It is mentioned, in an historical context, in a book published in 1890.

I hope this helps.
