The Canterbury UAD states that The Unity does not appear to have lasted long as an inn in Palace Street. The directory for 1882 lists Charles Sibley as innkeeper and in 1888 Mrs C Lweach had taken over. According to one of Flint's Papers The Unity had earlier been listed as No. 8 Palace Street. It closed as an inn in 1936 and is now the RSPCA Clinic.
