Chip Pan Blaze.
Fire engines from Tunbridge, Metfield and Wadhurst dealt with a fire in
the kitchen of the "Swan" public house at Lamberhurst on Thursday
afternoon last week. The alarm was raised by the licensee, Mr. Peter
Powell, after a chip pan overheated. The kitchen was slightly damaged by
smoke. |
Not a lot known about this pub at present, but believed to have changed
name to the "Vineyard" some time after 2008.
It was probably originally just called the "Swan" as well, and I have no
idea yet when the vinyard was added.
