Former Hero of the Crimea pub, Alma Street, Sheerness. In the Marinte Town historic core. Plaque survives above the door stating 'Hero of the Crimea Hotel, Shepherd Neame and Cos, Fine Ales'.
"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)
