James Wates, 1804/5, Erith - d. 2.9.1872 at Rosherville Hotel, Parish of
Northfleet (67). He seems to have moved to Gravesend before 1830 and was a
carpenter and builder in 1832; also being a licensee of a Commercial Tavern
or Public House near the Garrison. In 1839 it was known as
Wates Hotel, and he seems to have
ceased to work as a builder. In 1847 he had moved to Commercial Place and in
1858 he had a "Family Hotel", Whitehall Place. There is an old advertisement
in existence, which shows James' business ability, it is headed by a very
good woodcut of the hotel from the river, with lively river scene with river
boats of the period. *
The death of his wife may have influenced his decision to sell the hotel,
and he may not have been able to run such a big place without her help. *
He died at Rosherville Hotel, so it seems that he took over another licence,
of possibly a smaller and more "modern" place, which was not so influenced
by the fall in river traffic. When James died, he left his niece Esther Bone
everything in his Will, dated 12.8.1872 and proved on 10.10.1872 (under
£2,000) thus cutting out his son and granddaughters. It could have been
"undue influence", but Esther depended on him and Edward was a prosperous
man. *
