The pub was named after the Duke of Cumberland. The pub was run by Mathias Cordery, Gent of Bromley Common. On his demise the pub was taken over by
his son, George Cordery. *
Sarah Cordery took other from her husband George when he died in 1837 – her maiden name was Morgan and her brother George Morgan (Landlord of
the Crown, Sunbridge Park) took over on her demise in 1843. He constructed a new pub at that time. George Morgan died in 1851 when the pub was then run by others. Apparently the pub moved its location on various occasions – its last location was built around the 1930’s. *

Bromley and West Kent Telegraph. 10 March 1906 - Cases for compensation in Bromley.
The Dukes Head stood in the Market square which was the centre of the town. The house was under proper supervision, except it had two entrances in two streets. It was a large house, in good condition and suitable for all requirements. It catered for all classes, and on market days and Saturday evenings the house might be filled, but was not overcrowded. It was well conducted, and the nearest houses were the Rose and Crown, which was 12 yards away, and the Foresters was 18 yards, the White Hart was 60 yards, the Bell 70 yards, and the Rising Sun aout 80 yards.
