My grandfather, Percy Wheeler ran the Canterbury Bell from 1945 until it's closure in 1957; when it was demolished and a new pub - The New Swan - was built on the site. At the time it closed, takings were about £10 a day - although takings did rise to £100 per day in the hop picking season. It was a simple beer house and never sold spirits.  ***
