88 Rough Common Road Rough Common Harbledown
The "Dog and Bear" sign recall the old sport of bear-baiting. The Maple family moved from the "Magpie" after a fire at that pub in 1874 continued to run the "Dog and Bear" until 1956 and were keep supporters of Harbledown Cricket Club, which plays its home games just down the road, behind Rough Common Village Hall. An entry in Fremlin's 1950s publication called "Where shall we go," indicated the following:- Phone number - Canterbury 5183. Parking accommodation - 3 Coaches. Remarks - Piano available.
I believe this pub lost the Bear in its name and is now trading under the name the "Dog." When this happened, at present I do not know.
