Rochester, Kent.

The Six Poor Travellers House in High Street was a charity house founded in 1579 by local MP Richard Watts to provide free lodging for poor travellers.

This Grade One listed building is no longer used as an almshouse. The accommodation on the upper floors is occupied by the Custodian and the ground floor has been converted into a museum which is open to the public.

The building now known as the Coopers Arms was built during the reign of Richard 1 (1189-1199). The first recorded inhabitants of the house were the monks from nearby St Andrews priory who were renowned for brewing ales and wine.
