Mentioned with the address of Barming heath in 1855, under the rule of Samuel Rupell.

Advertised around 1900 as being opposite the Barming Asylum and open to bona fide travellers on Sundays, having good stabling and room to store bicycles. It is said to have been situated next to the "Invicta."

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.
