That was a good one - I was miles away.  Great range of classic cars for sale - if only ....




I wonder what Grandarog has in store for us next?  :D

Pye Corner it certainly is, home to an interesting array of motoring and associate specialists over the years.


The lane to the right seemed to have no name. Mr Noakes, who owned the site, the pre war Lanchester and 50s Singer Roadster, just called it The Lane when I asked him. Mind you I was walking two of our German Shepherds at the time, and 8stone of Harry leaning against him may have been a bit of a distraction  :D


Over to you Grandarog

Very quiet today.

This was the local forge, attached to Forge House. It later became a motor car and agricultural repair garage, still selling fuel about 35years ago. The site has diversified into a minor industrial estate, mainly motor orientated. The last owner did not live in Forge House, but in the house out of shot to the right, but kept his splendid Lanchester in the old forge.

Thats it ,You have it been like that for donkeys years.
            On the A2 just as you leave Teynham towards sittingbourne. Old Farm House.
            It is listed so I think the idea is to wait until it becomes dangerous and beyond repair then knock it down and build a housing estate on the farmyard.
