This Pub is Permanently Closed

The Wrotham Ale Shades opened in 1874, initially as a beer house. Early in the 20th century, in common with over 60 pubs in the town, it was part of the tied estate of the nearby Russell's brewery. It probably became a Truman's house when Russell's was taken over by Truman's in 1930, but this has not yet been confirmed..

The pub closed in 1958, probably because of the fierce competition offered by the large number of pubs that existed in this part of town during the 1950s - happy days! After closure it was converted to private accommodation and the former pub can still be identified today.

If anyone has any further information about this pub, particularly a more recent photograph of it as a going concern, we would be delighted to hear from you - please use the feedback form.
