A cut bench mark on the south west side of the pub. It may be a tad tight
getting a view, as it seems the staff park their cars alongside this section of
the building.
This pub was once called the Red Lion Inn, but locally it has been called "The
Cat" for as far back as anyone can remember. It is also claimed as being the
highest pub in Kent and is situated in the small hamlet of Paddlesworth near to
Hawkinge. It was used during WW2 by pilots and other personnel who were
stationed at the nearby Hawkinge Battle of Britain airfield, and contains a
varied collection of aviation memorabilia and photographs that represent the
history of the area during the last 100 years.
