The
building was first registered as an ale house in 1803 by Flints Brewers of
Stour street, Canterbury, the City of Canterbury had =
3 bars
and a shop selling local produce. Originally the building had a thatched =
roof
which was later replaced with Kent
peg tiles. At the rear of the building, which was originally the kitchen,=
a
large slab was discovered beneath which was a well, behind the building w=
as
originally hop gardens.
In
1971 the City of Canterbury<=
/st1:place>
closed its doors for the last time as a public house and was converted in=
to
student accommodation servicing the local St Edmunds School.
We
reopened the doors to the public, as a guest house, in August 2002 initia=
lly
operating just 3 rooms. We have now expanded, due to increased demand,
refurbishing further rooms to the present level of 8 rooms, all offering =
en
suite or private facilities. Although the original 3 bars have been remov=
ed
we have retained the original feel and period setting now used for our
reception and breakfast area, also a comfortable lounge with views across=
the
city.
