The Upper Bell Inn has seen better days
The Upper Bell Inn was probably built when it was on the main road between Chatham and Maidstone known as Blue Bell Hill which passed in front of the pub to the right. Now the road to the right has been closed off and the very busy and noisy A229 passes underneath Common Road nearby.
As at 2014 it has now been demolished.
