1 - Waterman's Arms

William Langford was the landlord in 1845 of the Waterman's Arms. He was then followed by three generations of the Baker family.

The pub was completely replaced in 1910, by the current building. During demolition, a double roof-space was discovered, used for smuggling liquor, apparently linked to the Robin Hood pub in Burham.

Up until recent years, there was a large beer garden to the south of the pub, but this has since been built on with a row of new terraced houses.

This is one of Wouldham's three surviving pubs.

This pub used to house the village post office, once the co-op closed.

The Dog & Partridge was converted into a private house after the deaths of the last licencees, Mrs Styant and Mrs Ransley. The two licencees were life long friends, both passing away in 1915 at the age of 90.

The Foresters Arms once had three shops next to it, which have since closed down. However, the pub remains.

This up until recently was one of Wouldham's three surviving pubs. It has since closed and is currently for sale.

6 - Black Robin

The Black Robin was the double-fronted house on the left of Medway View, on the Pilgrims Way above the village.

It is thought that the Black Robin was a short lived pub, suffering a fire and subsequent repair work. The landlord, "Basher" Boorman applied for a new license, but it was refused after farmers complained that the pub customers trampled on the crops on their return from the pub to the village.
