The Bull and The Old Bull.
First records of this ancient pub that closed in 2014 date back to
the 18th Century. During the period, there were two "Bull" pubs in Snodland – The
"Old Bull," on the east side of Holborough Road at its
junction with the High Street, and the "Bull," which was directly
opposite, on the west.
The "Old Bull" is believed to pre-date the "Bull," although its exact
age is unclear. Its first reference was in 1727, in the will of a
man named Richard Everest.
The "Bull" was then built in 1775. It was rebuilt several times, but
the existing building on the corner of Holborough Road and
Constitution Hill was erected in 1881.
The "Old Bull" is thought to only have been a pub for a short time,
and became a grocer's or butcher shop in around 1800. |
