'''The “Dungeness Express”'''

A recent post on the FaceBook page for “Kentish Brewers and the Brewers of Kent” shows a photograph uncovered from the Society’s archives of the “Dungeness Express” in operation. This was a Styles and Winch dray that at one time was used to transport fish from the boats arriving at Dungeness and then to take stores to houses and the Britannia Inn beyond the limit of the road. The road was subsequently lengthened and in this picture a load of beer is seen being taken across the shingles.

The original pub dates from about 1838 and is still trading, albeit relocated and rebuilt.
