The Mulberry Tree Inn - Pub on Lower Rainham Road

Photo of The Mulberry Tree Inn on Lower Rainham Road taken around 1905. The Mulberry tree beer house opened before 1872 and closed in 1973 as one of the last beer houses in the area which only served ales and no spirits. The concept has been resurrected again in Kent with micropubs being started on a similar idea. It was probably build to serve men building forts in the area. The photo shows the Style and Winch ales sign above the pub. Style & Winch Ltd Brewery & Pubs - Maidstone Fine Ales

Old Photos of Earl Street Maidstone February 1981

The photos on the site are primarily of Rainham but there are a few pictures of other areas of Kent that I've found.

These photos of Earl Street Maidstone were taken in February 1981 and show the gas holders across the river where the St Peters Street shopping centres and new housing blocks have now been built.

You can see sign for Wrights TV rentals, Sketchleys cleaners, The Company Store and the old pub sign for the Druids Arms. In the distance is part of the Norwich Union Insurance societies offices and a Pickfords removal van.
