I have seen reference to this pub as being undefined as type of pub and being addressed as Thorn Hill.

The pub was bought by Fremlins in 1929.

This was also a Mason's tied house, but the brewery was bought out by Shepherd Neame in 1956 and the brewery was subsequently closed and has been demolished.

 

Southeastern Gazette, 6 September 1853.

Applications for New Licenses.

Mr. Monckton then applied on behalf of Mr. Sutton, of the "Holly-bush Inn," Thornhills, for a spirit license. This house is situated directly opposite to the "Brickmakers’ Arms," to which house a license was last year granted. With respect to this application, Mr. Monckton, in urging its superior claims to those of the "Brickmakers’ Arms," remarked upon the way in which the licence to the latter had been granted by the Bench, which elicited some alteration, and strong protestations against the "licence" assumed by advocate, in pleading for their clients.

 

 

After a time closed I am informed that the pub is again open in 2014.

 

Local knowledge, further pictures, and licensee information would be appreciated.

I will be adding the historical information when I find or are sent it, but this project is a very big one, and I do not know when or where the information will come from.

All emails are answered.
