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 :-\

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.
