Situated just along from the "Hare and Hounds."

Previously known as the "New Inn" and later the "New Inn and Railway Hotel" when the railway opened in 1874. The name changed to the "Wig and Gown" some time after the second world war to try and attract legal clients during the Kent Assizes or Quarter Session, but unfortunately the premises was demolished in the 1980's to make way for the Invicta Office Block.
