Having just ventured into what is now Greater London, but which was part of Kent before 1965 I have just started to add information for this area.

As the information is found or sent to me, including photographs, it will be shown here.

Thanks for your co-operation.

Maidstone Journal and Kentish Advertiser, Saturday 27 October 1866.

Chelsfield, Kent.

Mr. William Hodsoll is flavoured with instructions from William Waring Esq., to sell by Auction, at the "Five Bells" in Chelsfield on Wednesday, October 31st, 1866, at 3 o'clock, about 62 acres of valuable Underwood, in the parishes of Shoreham and Farningham, Kent in convenient lots.

Philip Taylor, of Mount Hall, Chelsfield, and William Walklin, of Farningham, will show the lots, of whom catalogues maybe had; and also of Mr. William Hodsoll Auctioneer, &c., Farningham Kent.

Maidstone Telegraph April 1869.

Caleb Bath, Landlord of the "Five Bells" successfully defended himself for not having his name on a light spring cart. He had paid £5 to license it as a cart for hire, and therefore did not need his name on the cart.
