After my grandfather left the Canterbury Bell in 1957 he was promised a
place for him and his wife in the Licensed Victuallers Retirement home in
Asylum Road, Peckham. Whilst waiting for a place to become available he was
allocated The Victory in Gads Hill, Gillingham. I went there once as a boy
and it was sad and empty place !!!
He was there just 12 months until moving to Peckham and then on to the LVA
houses in Denham where he died. ***
