I have also seen this as being listed in Swanscombe, so believe it is close to the border of both.

The pub closed its doors in 2008 and is now (2016) being used as a private residence.

 

Maidstone Journal and Kentish Advertiser, Monday 27 August 1866.

DARTFORD PETTY SESSIONS.

Mr. Gibson applied for Mr. Hudson, "Ingress Tavern," Swancombe, Refused.

 

From an unknown book.

The name comes from the Ingress Estate across London Road. Ingryce Manor was granted by Edward II in 1353 ‘to the Priory and Abbey of Dartford for ever’. Henry VIII put a stop to that. This Victorian building, with brick ovens in the cellar, replaced an earlier inn set back from the road in a cherry orchard. Trading by 1865, the Ingress was a Kidd’s house by 1874. The brewery leased at first, from owner Geoffrey Thomas Austin; they paid £700 for the freehold in 1886, by which time it was a fully licensed Public House. The property was subject to a life annuity of £12 to Caroline Hanna Brown, presumably descended from a former owner. From 1915 long-serving landlord A Ludlow was paying £35 rent per year, plus £1 as half the cost of emptying cess-pool. In 1931 his rent soared to £55.
