A short walk around the village of Marden which has a long history dating back at least as far as Edward 1. This is one in a series of caches remembering old pubs in Kent, unfortunately now closed.
You get two pubs for the price of one with this particular cache in the lost pubs series.
The co-ordinates above are for suggested parking and not the cache itself and below you will find the co-ordinates for the two pubs.
The Rose and Crown
The Telegraph opened to mark the opening of a telegraph office in Marden. It closed a long time before we were born but we used to visit the Rose & Crown to watch Headcorn Morris Dancers in the late 1970s. It is recorded as a Beer shop from the 1800s, was granted a wine licence in 1946 and a full licence in 1957. The Rose and Crown is now 2 private cottages and the Telegraph a good old fashioned butcher’s shop.
The cache can be found at
N 51° 10.CB(A+1)' E 000° 29.(X+1)(B-D)A'
Where X is the number of rusty white posts outside the Telegraph and ABCD21 is the number on the danger of death sign opposite the Rose and Crown.
If anybody would like to expand the Kent Lost Pubs series please do, we would just ask that you let LVT know first so we can keep track of the Pub numbers and names, to avoid duplication. Please avoid pubs that have become restaurants.
