Town of Ramsgate

Although the present building dates back to 1758, the National Monuments Record have stated that it was constructed on earlier foundations.

Today it benefits from a Grade II listing, awarded primarily for the pub's interior; the "beamed ceilings, benches, plank paneling and engraved glass screen" but also for its "group value and historical associations.

Crammed into a small rectangular area between Wapping Old Stairs and Oliver's Wharf, its fight for space is reflected in the long narrow shapes of the pub's main bar.

Walking out onto the pub's riverside terrace, the visitor is confronted by the dramatic sight of narrow steps leading up to the mock gallows that loom against the skyline.

To the left of the inn are the Georgian houses of Pier Head which were built in 1811 for the employees of the London Dock Company.
