Local record
History of this pub
The Beacon stood on Halcrow Avenue in The Bridge business park, beside a Premier Inn, and CAMRA knew it mainly as a dining venue that still kept two real ales on. The Bridge was built on land on the Dartford marshes once occupied by Joyce Green Hospital, opened in 1903 as a smallpox hospital and later a general hospital, which closed and was demolished in 2000.
