AROUND THE PUBS OF SHEPPEY IN 1969

By Mrs Babs Traverse

After refreshing himself at the Royal Fountain, the Jolly Sailor carrying the emblem Red Lion, proceeded up the Admirals Walk to the Railway Hotel.  He met a True Briton outside the Victory and Britannia and the Belle and Lion prevented him, due to a touch of the Sun, acting the Goat in the Brewery Tap.  

On the way to the Old House At Home, he saw a Crown in a Mechanic’s Arms

At the Castle he saluted the Queen and told them he was attached to the Nore command.  

They all then proceeded to have a Royal look at the Seaview where the Napier said that Victoria had lost many patriotic men at the battle of the Heights of Alma, including a British Admiral who was a Man of Kent and the Hero of the Crimea who had died in his Blacksmiths Arms.

“Ah! Playa, here I come, the Ship on Shore is my next Waterloo,” he said and from the Beach saw the Highlanders presenting the Kings Arms to the British Queen.

“I can get lodgings,” he said on the Island at the Crooked Billet, although I prefer staying in a Castle watching a Plough in a field around a Wheatsheaf.  From Bay View swimming towards Harty Ferry, a Seahorse wearing a Rose and Crown was seen in Warden Bay.

Remarking at the Halfway House that he had seen a Greyhound carrying Harps, he said, “What an Oddfellow it looked.” 

Before rejoining his Ship to sail around the Globe via the Medway, he expressed a Hope that he could present a Rose to Queen Phillipa at the Castle and then spend his last night ashore at the Old House at Home dreaming how long it would be before he was back again on leave and safe in his Ordinance Arms

About the Island Clubs Mrs Traverse says:     Victoria, a very strong Conservative, wanted to visit Eastchurch via Sheerness East and Minster.  An Ex-Serviceman being Co-operative presented an Ivy Leaf to her at the Literary and Social evening at Queenborough”.
