Hand and Sceptre Hotel Southborough Common Kent
Hand and Sceptre Hotel Southborough Common Kent
A shot of the grand old oak tree next to the cricket pitch and the Hand and Sceptre Hotel on Southborough Common, Kent. The hotel was built in 1663 and became an inn in 1728, shortly before the ancient route that is now the A26 was officially designated as a turnpike road in 1765. The first officially recorded cricket match took place here in 1838.
