| The Crozier
(Unnamed) - The Crown, Rochester (and in Pickwick Papers).
Dating back to perhaps C14 (see entry in Pickwick
Papers) 'The inn was rebuilt in 1864, and has been identified
as the "Crozier" of Edwin Drood, where Datchery,
on his first arrival in the town "announced himself ... as an
idle dog living on his means ... as he stood with his back to the
empty fire-place, waiting for his fried sole, veal cutlet and pint
of sherry."' (Matz, Pickwick, p.31)
The Tilted Wagon (Unnamed) - The Coach and Horses, Stood Hill, Rochester. Extant. The Traveller's Twopenny Maidstone Road, Rochester. Wood's Hotel Furnival's Inn, London. Dickens would have probably known this place. Furnival's Inn etc. demolished 1898. |
