Below information by John Gilham.

The "Harrow" was closed and converted into a house in 1968. It stands on the side of Old Road which was was the main road to Tonbridge until the "new A26" was built. At one point in the 1930's my Grandfather Frederick James Gilham ran the pub.

 

Described as a beer shop in the 1851 census where a Thomas Weller was lodging at the time, and he went on to become the licensee of the "New Found Out."

The premises still stands (2017) as a private residence.
