(Name to)

Birchington

Not to be confused for the other "New Inn" which I believe is situated on the other side of the Square. I believe this pub changed name to the "Powell Arms" some time between 1802 and 1836. Reference has been found regarding a pub titled the "Quex new Inn," so perhaps it was previously occupied and run by someone with the name of Quex.

From the Kentish Gazette or Canterbury Chronicle, Wednesday, 24 August to Saturday, 27 August, 1768. Price 2d.

QUEX NEW INN

At Birchington near Margate, and about Six Miles from Ramsgate, Kent.

Is now opened for Reception of Company by STEPHEN ELLIOTT, who begs Leave to inform the Nobility and Gentry, that the said Inn consists of a large Mansion-House, and Gardens in good Order, pleasantly situated, about three Miles from Margate; and that he has laid in Stock for the best Wines, and all other Liquors, with every suitable Accommodation for the genteelest Company, who may depend on the most obliging Usage, and the Favor gratefully acknowledged by their most humble Servant.

STEPHEN ELLIOTT.
