The Old Mill (1), Canterbury Road, Kennington, Ashford, Kent
This used to be The Golden Ball public house but now it is The Old Mill and part of a small chain of restaurants called Village Green Restaurants. In 2016 the chain was purchased by Kent brewers Shepherd Neame. They have not been given Shepherd Neame branding and this one, at least, serves beers from other breweries. Presumably the building was at one time a mill (the sign shows a windmill) or built on the site of one. The present building dates from the early 19th century. It is Grade II listed. It is adjacent to the A28 road and some way out of the built-up area of Kennington, which has become a suburb of Ashford.

The Old Mill (3) - smoking room window, Canterbury Road, Kennington, Ashford, Kent
A little piece of history and an increasingly rare sight - a surviving window to a former smoking room. In years gone by larger pubs often had a room devoted to smoking (& drinking). Now it's illegal so these rooms have to be used for other purposes, or in some cases perhaps not used at all.

The Old Mill (4) - sign, Canterbury Road, Kennington, Ashford, Kent
Previously known as The Golden Ball, it's not clear where the present name comes from. The building is Grade II listed but the listing text makes no mention of any mill. Maybe the present building, which is early 19th century, is on the site of a demolished mill or perhaps there was one nearby.
