My great grandfather Frederick Charles Packer used to be the landlord of the
Rose and Crown, Bell Road/Street, Sittingbourne. I think this is now an
Indian restaurant. This was approximately 1920s to the mid 1930s from family
memories. He died I think in 1937. I have a picture of him standing in the
doorway of the pub ***
