Battle of Britain, Northfleet
The Battle of Britain was a public house in Northfleet, Gravesend, Kent, originally established in 1947 as a wooden hut built by RAF personnel on the former Gravesend airfield. In 1961, the nearby Shears Green House was converted into a permanent pub, serving as both a social venue and a living memorial to Gravesend’s wartime aviation heritage. RAF Gravesend, a key fighter station during the Second World War, was the first RAF base to operate the P‑51 Mustang and saw action during the 1940 Battle of Britain. In October 2016, the pub was illegally demolished by Putnam Construction Services, on behalf of landowners Brakspear brewery and their consultants, the Caldecotte Group.
