1955 Billet Charrington Crooked Boozer
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of the Crooked Billet Public House in Ash, Kent, taken in the 1950s. The image showcases the charming facade of the pub, with its distinctive name sign and ornate brickwork. The Crooked Billet, located at CT3 2BN, was once a beloved local watering hole and gathering place for the community. This photograph, now in residential use as of July 2018, transports us back to a simpler time. The 1950s were a period of post-war recovery and optimism in the United Kingdom, and the Crooked Billet, managed by Charrington and Company Limited, was a vital part of the social fabric of Ash. The pub's name, "Crooked Billet," is believed to have originated from the days when travelers would rest here, using a crooked billet as a makeshift pillow. The building's history stretches back even further, with records indicating that it was already in operation during the 18th century. As you gaze at this photograph, imagine the lively conversations, laughter, and camaraderie that once filled the Crooked Billet. The pub's walls have witnessed countless stories, and this image serves as a testament to the rich history and character of Ash and its people.
