The Men Of Kent was situated on the A2, High Street near its junction with Meresborough Road (left) and Otterham Quay Lane (right). The name of the pub reflects the fact that those born east of the river Medway are known as Men (or Maids) of Kent, whereas those from west of the river are Kentish Men (or Maids). Rainham has grown in all directions and is prime commuter belt for London. This pub closed in 2009.

Name Dates Comments Paul Holden 1961 Used to live round the corner on Blackthorne Road. Shepherd Neame beer (usually cloudy but tasted OK). Thing I remember most was going in after work for a couple of pints, studying the racing form for the evening races, then getting on the blower and having a £10 win double. A lot of dough in those days and still the biggest bet I've ever made. It came up! Cause for general celebrations and a brand new overcoat.
