pointed out to me by Tony Wilson. |
Above map 1896. |
Identified between 1851 and 1871.
The only reference I can see for the address of Houden near Ash is Houden
Farm referring to "The Court for Relief of Insolvent Debtors 1836":- John
Laslett, formerly of Houden Farm, Ash, next -Sandwich, Kent, Farmer,
afterwards of Sandgate, near Hythe, Kent, out of business, then of Ash
aforesaid, Labourer, and late of Pound-Lane, Canterbury, out of business.
Further research gives the address as Staple and actually the village
spelt Hoaden as shown in the map above.
The village being very small and
housing fewer than 40 buildings. However, it is mentioned in the
National
Archives website as being the "Plough Inn" Hoaden, Ash and listed in 1931,
and also mentioned as seen below when licensees changed from John
Settersfield in 1925, who I have also traced as being a beer retailer of
Hoaden, Westmarsh in 1922, to William George Marsh.

Michael Mirams informs me that the pub was closed around the 1960s.

From an email received 5 August 2015.
My parents lived in the above property in the 1970s - 80s. It wasn't a pub when
they bought it and I believe their predecessor had not run it as a pub
either; I think the deeds had a restrictive covenant preventing the sale
of alcoholic drinks.
Whenever they were gardening they would dig up stonewear pots and
flagons often with ginger beer branding and glass bottles. They were told that when it was a pub there was no bar, rather a hatch
leading to the stairs into the semi basement and having given your order
the publican would then go downstairs to get your drink. I remember being told they they once received a visit from some ex WWII
aircrew that had been based at RAF Manston and drank at the Plough,
apparently it was one of the few places that had beer at the time. Hope that is of interest. Jon

From an email received, 23 October, 2021. I remember this pub.
My Aunt and Uncle owned the house opposite- it was called Holly Tree
(in the junction of Lower and Durlock road).
Opposite the pub was the office of Petleys - they owned a lot of farm
land and the farm and house in Durlock road.
I remember a fire at the pub and soon after it was flattened.
I can’t be anymore precise but it was between 1961 and 1966.
I remember being very excited as a young boy at seeing a fire engine
up close!
