and even outdates some of Shepherd Neame's brewing records.
Kentish Gazette 09 October 1787.
CANTERBURY, Oct. 9.
On Saturday afternoon about five o'clock, as Mr. Curling, master of the
"Three Horse Shoes," public-house, at Hernehill, was returning home in
his cart from this city, just beyond the milestone on the Harbledown
road, the horse took fright and ran away, and he endeavouring to catch
hold of the reins, fell from the cart, and the wheel went over his body,
by which he was so much bruised that he was carried to the "Coach and
Horses" at Harbledown, where, in less than two hours, he expired in
great agonies. |

Sudden Death.
An inquest was holden yesterday at the "Three Horse Shoes,"

John Epps, a thatcher, who expired suddenly last Saturday morning,
whilst walking near Butt’s Hill.

Kentish Gazette, 24 December 1844.
An inquest was held on Friday last, at the "Three Horse Shoes,"
Staple-street, Hernhill, before T. T. Delasaux, Esq. on view of the
body of Jane Dunkin, aged 17, living with her parents at Boughton Hill,
who was found dead in her bed the preceding morning.
From the evidence adduced, it appeared deceased had been subject to fits
for some time past. Mr. Ogilvie, surgeon, of Boughton,
applied the usual means of restoration, but of no avail, life being
quite extinct, and was of opinion death was caused by apoplexy.
The jury returned a verdict accordingly.
