Full Description

The Heights of Alma pub, Alma Street, Sheerness. In the Marine Town historic core. Features historic frontage and a sign on the neighbouring property.

"The area appears to have been largely designed to accommodate workers for the dockyard and the street naming and facilities provided appear characteristic for such an area. Streets are named principally after patriotic themes, such as monarchs, generals and notable battles, and public houses were spaced regularly throughout the houses. Some of these pubs remain in use, including The Napier and The Heights of Alma, but others, such as The Hero of the Crimea, are now disused and converted residential accommodation."(1)
