The Canterbury UAD states that this was an Ind Coope/Free House inn.
This inn was formerly The Vines but was listed as New Inn in a Directory in 1865 and again in 1878 when Gibbon Ladd was the innkeeper.
The Kerntish Gazette dated 9th May 1978 reported a rather sad story about the New Inn. 'Publican Sean O'Malley is leaving, frozen out because of lack of trade - there is seldom anyone in the bar. Mr O' Malley claims his reglars have ostracised him and his pretty wife Carol and now the couple, who have been at the pub for just over a year, have decided to call it a day. Takings of £500 a week'. Said Mr O' Malley, ' have fallen to £100.' He said he banned customers under the age of 14 and refused to open early or stay open unless he has an extesion. He also refused to 'serve people who swear'.
It is now, apparently a very popular inn. It is the nearest to Christ Church College.
