Sam Coles, Late of the Running Horses, Erith - 1911

Sam Coles, Late of the Running Horses, Erith - 1911

Kindly provided by David Yates

My Great Grandfather Samuel Coles was the Proprietor of the Bull's Head Public House in Crayford in 1911. My understanding is that the Bull's Head was bombed during the Second World War and a number of children died there as they were gathering there to be transported into the countryside. Apparently a church was built on the site of the pub in memory of the children.

You may be interested to know that prior to the Bull's Head my Great Grandfather was the Owner & Manager of the Running Horses Pub in Erith and the Jolly Millers in South Darenth. He entered into the Public House business in 1904 after having worked for Sir Thomas Callender of Callender Cable & Construction Co. Ltd.. He emigrated to Canada in 1912 with his wife and several children. ***
