The Golden Lion at Broad Oak, Sturry, was a regular halt for wagons carrying timber from Blean Woods to Canterbury, and was probably built, in the 1400s, specifically for the wagoners.

Stapleton's Guide of 1838 gave the address as Broad Street.

All I have at present is an old photo of the pub and no other information.

Your help is needed here. If you have any information about the above pub or other pubs in the same village or indeed other photographs of this house, open or closed, please email me at the address below. Every email is answered.

Thanks for your co-operation.

(Before Wm. Delmar, Esq.)

Thomas Holness, labourer, was charged with having on Tuesday night, or early on Wednesday morning last, broken into the dwelling-house of Wm.
