Another pub to try ;D in Kent... if you're fond of swimming.

I see on the BBC news site that the drowned village of Stourhead Gardens has finally been located by divers. The team found a couple of cottages, and stone walls. They even bought up stone with paint on it.
In my teens I used to go out some evenings with friends to a pub called 'The Bull' at a place called 'Three-Legged Cross'. We played bar-billiards there. It was a small, quiet pub, with only a few other people in it, who weren't bothered that we were possibly under-age.
A few years later, the Bewl Bridge reservoir was created near Lamberhurst, and after the damming and the filling-up, 'The Bull' was under forty feet of water. I sailed over it some time ago in a dinghy when I met up with my sister and her husband for an outing in Kent. It was appropriate, they were often with me in the pub as we raced to get as many balls pocketed before the bar clacked down and they would stop coming back.
I have often wondered about diving down to find the pub and peer through the windows to see of the bar-billiards machine was still there.
