Plough & Harrow, Tilmanstone.
Plough and Harrow.
Built in circa 1850’s the Plough and Harrow Pub has had an interesting past which extends back as far as 1880 when it gained attention and opposition from publicans and puritans.
From the Dover Express and East Kent Intelligencer, 3 September, 1880. Price 1d.
APPLICATION
Mr. Mowll, solicitor, of Dover, said he was instructed by Messrs. Gardner and Co. Brewers of Ash, to ask permission of the Magistrates to pull down the public-house at Tilmanstone known as the "Plough and Harrow," and erect a new one in its stead. It was at present only a beer-house, and he had therefore to apply to the Bench to grant them a license to sell spirits.
Mr. Edward W. Fry, surveyor and architect, said he had prepared the public plans produced of the house which was proposed to be built, the erection of which would cost £700.
In answer to Mr. D'Aeth, Mr. Gardener (a member of the firm) stated that if the house were fully licensed a new tenant would be found to attend to the business solely, and not go out to work as the present one did. If a spirit license was granted it would not interfere with any other house in the district. There were no fully licensed houses along the main road from the "Coach and Horses" at Eastry to the "Royal Oak," Whitfield, a distance of between six or seven miles.
Mr. Minter, of Folkestone, appeared on behalf of the owner and occupier of the "Three Ravens" public-house, Tilmanstone, to oppose the application on the ground that additional accommodation was not required.
George Atwood, landlord of the public-house mentioned, deposed that the "Three Ravens Inn" was five minutes walk from the house proposed to be erected. He believed the population of the parish had decreased of late, and did not consider that the traffic had increased.
The application was refused.
Today has survived all attempts at opposition and the Plough and Harrow Pub at Tilmanstone had undergone a massive transformation which has reinvigorated the old pub into a stylish place to stop and indulge in a pint.
