Project 2014 has been started to try and identify all the pubs that are and have ever been open in Kent. 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 original building can be traced back to the 1700s, but was rebuilt in 1878 and operated by Whitbread since 1891. It's also been a Hogshead tied pub and now (2020) Green King owned.
