The Ship Inn, Herne Bay

On the corner of East Street and Central Parade. A Grade II listed 14th century building. The small hamlet which developed around the pub became home to a fishing community, and later on as a beaching point for goods being transported by boat, to and from London, as well as coal from Newcastle. The Ship was an infamous smuggler's haunt until the 1820s and was also used as an entertainment venue for the troops during the Napoleonic Wars.
