- The New Inn is now the Change Of Horses

December 1907 issue of "Fire and Water"
- Farnborough Brigade, along with Chislehurst and Lamorbey, were elected to the South-Eastern District of the Kent Fire Brigade Union, thus joining 66 other Brigades

On June 30th 1908 the New Fire Station was formally opened and the Brigade, under Captain Ferris, marched to the old station, removed their appliances amid cheers, and proceeded to the newly-erected engine house. This was situated to the left of the double fronted house [once the New Bakery] on the left of the Scout Hut.

There is a building opposite The Change Of Horses that might have been a fire station - need confirmation
