Monument record TQ 67 SW 231 - Site of Distillery Bank Street, Gravesend
Summary
Site of distillery shown on the 1st Ed OS map. Cellars found during groundwork date to the 18th - 19th century and were associated with buildings linked to the distillery. Three deep-cut cellars, two brick-lined 19th century cellars and one earlier cut directly into the natural chalk. Ceramic inclusions within the rubble backfill of the earlier cellar provided the only significant archaeological evidence and a possible founding date, c.1660-1680, for the distillery.
