On Friday night last the inhabitants of Durhamstone Hill, were alarmed
by a loud explosion which emanating from the "Sportsman's Arms" in the

Dover Express 25th June 1909.
Town, Port & Garrison.
The Dover Wheelers had a very novel and exciting run on Wednesday in the
form of a paper chase, the hares comprising four speed men under the
charge of the sub-captain, starting from headquarters fifteen minutes
before the hounds, their destination being unknown. The scent was taken
up on Crabble Hill, following to Kearsney station, through the Avenue to
Whitfield, Waldershare and Tilmanstone, where a hunt among the hedges
was made for paper, owing to the wind drifting it, but it was shortly
found to proceed to Eythorne by the narrow lane on to Coldred and
Shepherdswell, along the Canterbury road. Turning down to the left, the
hares were run to earth at the "Sportsman’s Arms," Barham, twenty minutes
after their arrival by the hounds after a very exciting chase. Another
novel run will probably take place on Wednesday July 21st. Next
Wednesday’s run is to Wingham via Eastry starting from Pencester Road at
6.45, Visitors cordially invited.

From http://www.francisfrith.com
2014.
My parents had the pub "The Sportsmans Arms".
I was only 5 or 6 years old when we lived there so I don't remember
the fine details but I do remember Mrs. Mac at the shop on the corner. I
used to spend quite a lot of time with Mr. and Mrs. Doubleday. He was an
artist, I think, and he painted a picture of me sitting on his lounge
floor with toys around me. My mother (Mrs. Maxie Attoe) wanted to buy it
from him but he didn't want to sell it. I've often wondered where it
ended up and have dreamed of finding and owning it. Living in Barham was
one of the happiest times in my life - it's such a shame that my parents
divorced and we all had to move away.
If you remember me, my parents Maxie and George Attoe, my brothers
David, Tony and Philip, or my grandmother Alice Wright, I'd be thrilled
to hear what you remember of us. I can be reached at
glynis.terry@hotmail.com
Fingers crossed x
From an email received 9 April 2004
Hi Paul - I can't be exact with dates as I was only little at the
time we lived there. I must have been about 4yrs old (1963) when we
moved in and we moved out spring, 1965.
My parents' names were George and Maxie Attoe. The reason we left the
pub was because my parents split up - not a happy time.
Hope this helps you in some small way. Good luck.
Regards
