edit
The King’s Arms was a historic public house located at 18 Medway Street (formerly Holborn Lane) in Chatham, Kent, England. Established by at least 1760, the pub served local dockyard and mill workers and was known for its traditional 17th-century English inn architecture. The building suffered significant damage from a fire in the 1990s and was subsequently demolished in December 2002. The site has since been redeveloped as part of the Chatham Waterfront regeneration project.
