The closure date of the Eleven Cricketers is unknown but it has been closed for at least 30 years. A concrete sign imbedded into wall remained until 2006, when a flat was built over the driveway on right. Formerly owned by John Bell (famous Kent Cricketer) in 1760 and often frequented by famous cricketers of the time. The building has remained empty but looks as if it will be converted into private housing.

The pub was situated on East Hill and closed in 1988 but has been renovated over the years and there are plans to reopen it as part of a hotel complex that will include the adjacent Jolly Miller.
