Yes, sorry Lutonman - I forgot there was a Mount Ephraim in Tunbridge Well area.


Heading for North West Kent now :)

There isn't much north of Mount Ephraim so how about the Graveney area?

Well Thank you all. I'll go with another place you can visit. (I like to show off Kent's attractions)


Old house has some South Africa connections.

I looked up loggerhead.  Seems there are various meanings (including a turtle) but perhaps the one here relates to a stupid/thick person.  Three loggerheads when in fact there are only two ?


I think Lutonman should have this one as I only added to his correct guess.

We 3 Loggerheads it is, sign has only 2 people on the other loggerhead being the viewer. This is the sign I knew in the 70s+80s and must have been in use earlier as this is from the tinplate Innsigns series 1 about 1950. Cellar was underneath the pub but accessed level from the carpark as shown in JW 2nd picture

The sign for the 'We three Loggerheads' had only two heads even back in 1908.  That pub is listed as High Street.


The old "Three Loggerheads" (Station Bridge House) was on the corner of Quarry Hill Road and Waterloo road. That pub and the "Good Intent" which was on the bottom corner of Waterloo Road were both knocked down and the monstrosity that was the new Loggerheads (later known as Loggers) was built between the two. That place, although popular with youngsters, did not last long.



Lutonman should have this one as I only obtained this info on the back of his comments.

There's another Three Loggerheads pub in Quarryhill Tonbridge - just to confuse further ...

Station Bridge Inn, Quarry Road?


On reflection, I think you have  it Lutonman with We Three Loggerheads. The pub on the left  was I believe the We Three Loggerheads; and I think the building in the pic was named We Three Loggerheads for a short time.  Just a guess but did the sign only show two of the 'Loggerheads'?

I think the location is Waterloo Road Tonbridge and is currently the Juniors day Nursery. But I have no idea what it was called and anything about the sign. Come On John Walker finish it off please, you gave me the town so its really yours anyway.
I don't think the building pictured is the former Pub at all. Th eland lies between the Good Intent and the We Three Loggersheads?
