The original building was on the corner of St George's Street and St.
George's Lane as 56 St. Georges Street and was listed as early as 1878.
Unfortunately that building was destroyed during the blitz of 1942.

Having been rebuilt in December 1963, it was a tied house of Shepherd Neame in the late 1980s. By the early 1990s it was
sold by Shepherd Neame and changed name to "Fools
and Horses." This remained as such until about 1996 when it again
changed name, this time to "Dundees,"
but early in 1998 it again changed name, this time to an establishment
titled "Fitz the Music Place."
That lasted merely a few months to mid 1998 and again changed name with it's
original theme to simply the "Coach
House," where it remained under that name for almost a year till April
1999. After that date and until its demolition in the autumn of 2000 it was
actually used as its name should of suggested, as a temporary Stagecoach
East Kent bus travel and booking office. Today, it is part of the
Whitefriar's Shopping Centre.

From the Whitstable Times, 12 July, 1902.
A PUBLICAN CONVICTED.
Henry Tomlin, landlord of the “Coach and Horses” public house in St
George’s Street, was summonsed for selling intoxicating liquors during
prohibited hours. Mr. A. K. Mowll appeared for defendant and pleaded guilty. Superintendent Farmery said on Sunday, at 8.50 a.m., P.C. Holness saw a
man go into defendant’s house by the side door, and when he came out he
saw that he looked bulky, and stopped him and found a bottle of spirits
on him. The constable went to the “Coach and Horses” and saw defendant,
who denied having served the man. Mr. Mowll addressed the Bench in mitigation. He admitted the facts, and
said his client did a very foolish thing in denying that he had served
the man, but no liquor was consumed on the premises. Defendant had been
landlord of the “Coach and Horses” for 12 years, and there had never
been the slightest complaint against him.
Superintendent Farmery, in reply to the Bench, said defendant had
conducted the house very well. The Magistrates inflicted a fine of £2 and 12s. coats. It was stated
that the licence would not be endorsed. |
