The Jolly Sailor, Sheerness

The West Street The Jolly Sailor. One of the early Public Houses in Blue Town was destroyed by a fire in 1888. The wooden structure was replaced on the same site by the existing brick built premises. The Fountain Hotel Built in 1807, this was superior hostelry that catered for dockyard, army and naval officers, and wealthy visitors to the town. It finally closed its doors as a hotel when it was put up for sale at the end of 1982
