Above Google image 2009, showing the location of the "Kentish Hoy."

 

The only reference I have found so far for this pub is in the Pigot's Directory of 1828.

Local knowledge from Dail Whiting says the following:- It was situated towards the Bottom of Bow Road. The building still stands. Up to about the late 1930’s it was in the parish of Nettlestead, but is now within the boundary of Wateringbury. Earliest date it was open, I’ve found, for sure is 1807, but it was probably open earlier. Closed in around 1892 when it was converted to three cottages.

 

South Eastern Gazette. Tuesday 28 December 1841.

An inquest was held at the "Kentish Hoy," Nettlestead, on Thursday last, before J. N. Dudlow, Esq., coroner, and a respectable jury, on a little girl between four or five years of age, who came to her death by drinking scalding water from a tea kettle by the side of the fire.

The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death."
