The premises was used as a common lodging and ale house but was made redundant on the 31 December 1910 and has since been demolished and the area used as the bus station, although the census of 1911 still lists William Barton as a Beer Retailer and Lodging House keeper.

 

Maidstone Telegraph 29 September 1866.

PETTY SESSIONS. APPLICATIONS JOB SPIRIT LICENCES.

There were no less than six applications from beer sellers for spirit licenses.

.....

Mr G. B. Mitchell applied in person for a licence to his house, the "Target," Stone-street, setting forth the accommodation his house afforded and the convenience of stabling, and supporting his application by a memorial from the inhabitants.

.....

The magistrates then retired to consult in private upon the implications, and upon their return the Mayor said that they had decided upon granting the license to the "Greyhound," Scrubs-lane, only.
