The "Old Angel" bungalow stands on the site of the former "Angel" beer-house, situated in Queen Street. It was part of a row of 17-18th century timbered houses known as 1-4 Angel Row, 1-5 Angel Terrace and the pub itself, Angel House, which were demolished in 1962 by the Cranbrook Council in their slum removal scheme.

The pub had closed by 1800 and was subsequently divided into labourers dwellings. According to the census of 1861 these dwellings were identified as 1-6 Old Angel House and it was opposite Angel Farm.

It appears in the 1901 census who mentions two families living there.

Current owners Pat Andrews tells me the following:- We are always finding glass in the the flower beds and my grandson recently dug up a Victorian looking jar. The bungalow is quite high up, we are wondering if there may have been a beer cellar in the past.
