Castle Row (Worthgate Street 1868) Canterbury
I don't know much more about this house apart from it was serving from between 1874 and I am informed it closed in 1907. The pub sign appears to be three hands. (Or are they feet?) The building itself is a Grade 2 listed building having been listed on 14th September 1976 and is described as follows:- "2 parallel range. Front range dated 1774, rear range of earlier origin. 2 storeys colour-washed. Slate roof with crenulated Parapet. Stringcourse. 2 sashes with 'Gothick' heads. Door-case set in right side passage extension with curved gable over. Rectangular fanlight with 'Gothick' glazing. 4 panelled. door. This building was a Public House called the "Bell" in the C18." I am told the pub faced the Dane John Gates.
