Ship - Church Road - Tarring - 1643 to 1678

 

 

Thought to date back to 1643, it appeared to cease trading around 1650 and had been converted into dwellings by 1678 and demolished in 1888.

Roger Davies, author of 'Tarring, a walk through its history' notes that it was just beyond the 'Old Cottage' which is the taller building just above the crouching boys head. It would be reasonable to assume the terrace of cottages shown, was the later conversion to individual dwellings mentioned above.
