I am informed that the pub closed, year unknown, and has been converted into a private residence, but the sign still remains. However, come August 2015 it looks from their website that the pub is thriving and is owned by the Westerham Brewery.

 

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.
