Ightham
Also been known as "Ye Olde Chequers" at some time before they decided to drop Ye Olde bit. I am informed the pub was up for sale in 2011 as shown in the top picture, and was boarded up a couple of months later as shown from the bottom one. It now appears closed, May 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.
