This was another of the pubs up for discussion regarding the compensation act in 1908, so may have closed soon after.

I am informed that the pub has been demolished, date unknown and is of now (2018) a car park. Steve Mortimore tells me that this was another victim of WW2 but the pub sign post still stood in its spot for years and was still there until the late 70s. Just the post. No sign. Both have now disappeared.

Project 2014 has been started to try and identify all the pubs that are and have ever been open in Kent. I have just added this pub to that list but your help is definitely needed regarding it's history.

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

Thanks for your co-operation.
