First recorded as being located at 8 Milton Road in 1808 although the building is thought to have been built in the 1790’s.

In 1823 the “British Tar” was registered as a Free House. In 1858 the premises was taken over by brewers Barclay and Perkins, and again in 1910 by the brewers Russell’s Gravesend Brewery.
