Old Bell

Valid XTHML

Strand Street near the bridge

(Sandwich)

 

Only information so far is the following passage taken from the Kentish Gazette of 1769.

I am also assuming that the "Old Bell" is not being confused with the "Bell" or indeed the "Bell Family and Commercial Hotel" or even the "Bell and Anchor".

 

Kentish Gazette, or Canterbury Journal [one title]. March 11 to 14, 1769. Kindly sent from Alec Hasenson.

Advert for sale of a Sloop at the Old Bell in Sandwich, to be held March 20th.

 

Alec Hasenson goes on to say:- "Old Bell", Sandwich, which presumably is just a name on a sign and excludes any Bell family connection.
