Adisham
Earliest reference found so far is in the Wingham Division Ale Licence
list, which shows the "Bull's Head," Adisham, to be re-licensed for the sum of 8 shillings in
1740 indicating that the pub was present before 1740.

OVER SHE GOES.
Miss Valerie Atkins, Folkestone's beauty queen last Saturday pushes
over the pile of pennies collected for cancer research at the "Bull's
Head," Adisham.
Valerie (20), a chemist's assistant, collected a handsome addition to
the funds from the customers at a shilling a time to guess the pile's
total before toppling it.
She also made he draw for a highly successful fund-raising raffle and
Mr. Ted Savage, the British Empire Cancer Research Campaign's local
chairman was very well satisfied with the £20 he was able to take home.
The pile of pennies is only one of the things that ex-Folkestone
policeman, Water May, has started in Adisham since he took over that pub
in 1963. A youth club and a club for the over-sixties also owe their
existence to him.

NEW LANDLORD.
Above photo shows Mr. and Mrs. John Southey and daughter Anetta
settling in to their new life at the "Bull's head," Adisham.
New landlord of the "Bull's Head," Adisham is a former publicity
officer for Dover, 47 year-old Mr. John Southey.
Mr. Southey, his wife and daughter Anetta, have moved from their
Lydden home to the village pub, and they were behind the bar for the
first time this week.
Mr. Southey resigned as publicity officer two months ago because he
said he was being treated like an office boy. This followed his removal
from his own entertainments and publicity office at the Town Hall, to
the Town Clerk's department, at New Bridge House.
He had played an active part in the promotion of East Kent as a short
term holiday centre for French and Belgian visitors.
At present Dover is without an officer with direct responsibilities
for entertainments and publicity.

Unfortunately another one closed. (Information gained 2009).
