Whitbread sign.

Above aluminium card issued 1950. Sign series 2 number 8.

The Licensing Records of 1872 stated the premises held a Beer License and was owned by Mary Ann Bassett of Aylesford.

I am told that the pub closed, date unknown and is now in residential use.

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.
