Victoria Kevans - The Victoria

Some dreadfully sad news. Victoria, the landlady of The Victoria, has passed away. She had been ill for just a short time. Many fans will recall that The Vic was a regular pre-match haunt and over the years, the club used the pub for various events. The Vic was also a sponsor and Victoria (and her s...

Re: Ship Lane Purfleet/Thurrock

The hotel used to be part of Thurrock Technical College, also known as Bushy Bit. I used to go there between 1975 and 1977 on day release from work. I would get a bus to Aveley village and then walk down Ship Lane. Quite perilous.
