Guess the Place

[johnfilmer]

I thought it looked familiar but couldn’t place it. I worked in Snodland for about 8years from 1972 and drove past the place every day

Freemason's Arms, Snodland ?

shoot999. I go along with those comments. I moved away for good, apart from a couple of years back in Maidstone 1966/7/8, in 1953, so cannot compete on the GTP. But do find a lot of interest, especially when a bit more history is added. And on rare occasions, I am able to "stick my oar in" about things I do know. Or even funnies! Bill, you need to have a more open mind, not just critical of others enjoying themselves.

Thanks johnfilmer . It was the Hatch clue that did it.
     I wish we could get a few more folks on board GTP .Give us a bit of competition. Seems to be only a small clique of us interested.


                   Next one should go pretty quick.

I think quite a few are on board, but for various reasons don't or can't participate. I moved away over 45 years ago and  like I expect many more have limited access to suitable pics. Nevertheless  I enjoy the search, piecing together the clues and knowledge gained, with the occasional stroke of luck in guessing a place I haven't seen for decades.
So on behalf of people like me, thanks to you folks for keeping GTP ticking over.

Spot on Grandarog. The last “place” that I guessed was at Kingsdown, hence my emphasis on going West, to West Kingsdown.


Blackadder was obviously a link to Edmund, and the reference to nearby Brands Hatch was picked up.


It’s a lovely little church, with the distinction of having my in laws buried in the Churchyard. I have been keen to use this for ages, but struggled with lack of street view until the two Kingsdown names could be linked.


If you can, now we are “free” go and visit. In the middle of a wood with a parking area.


Over to you Grandarog.
