Above map 1867.

I have just added this pub to that list but your help is definitely needed regarding it's history.

As the information is found or sent to me, including photographs, it will be shown here.

Thanks for your co-operation.

The Thanet Advertiser of 1892 gave this pub with the address as in Wrotham. I have also seen this addressed as in Borough Green and Platt. The Census of 1901 also addressed this as Plaxtol, but it is definitely at Clayton Cross as the above map of 1867 shows.

At it's close it was run down by Courage.
