Quite a few Duke's being found in nearby Hartley, and I would think that they are all related in some way or other, but I just haven't found the connection yet, hence the different pages for them all. The three Duke's being the "Duke of Kent," the "Duke's Head" and the "Duke William."

The one time Style and Winch public house was later sold to Frederick Leney of the Phoenix Wateringbury Brewery.

From the Kent and Sussex Courier, 6 February, 1914.

CRANBROOK PETTY SESSIONS.

FOUR LICENSED HOUSES NOTIFIED FOR REMOVAL.

At these Sessions yesterday. Mr. W. B. Tylden-Patterson (in the chair) and a full Bench of Magistrates, Supt Fowle presented his report, stating all the houses had been well-conducted, and there was a decrease of drunkenness by 11 compared with last year. The Chairman announced that the following four houses would be deferred to to the next Court for consideration on the ground of redundancy:

The "Duke of York," the "Paper Makers' Arms," the "Bird in Hand," and the "Prince Albert." The whole of the other licenses would be renewed.

The pub suffered a fire on New Year's day around the turn of the 21st century and although rebuilt shortly afterwards it reopened as a wine bar come restaurant called "Tiffins" and continued service for a few years before finally closing and being converted into a private dwelling.
