Located on the corner of St. Mary's Road and Dymchurch Road (the A259). It has an interesting history. It was built in 1776 and may have been a toll house in the days of turnpike roads. Certainly it became an important stopping point for fast mailcoaches, and there were extensive stables here to facilitate the changing of horses. When that era was over, the stables were used for storage and the business carried on as a wayside inn. For a long time it was a Whitbread house, but since then the signage and the pub's sign have completely changed. Image
