Pete - Cowden is much "warmer"
Diapason - Probably was, but if so, 4-5years ago. Not been out much lately!

I have no idea where this place was/is but I think I`ve seen the photo before.

Was it used on the `old` forum?

Not there. Keep going west. Still near the Medway. The village has a railway station named for it, but the station is in a different village.

Thanks JW, it is so distinctive.
Next one is out to the west. Photo taken by me about 1961 with my sister's Kodak Brownie.

Not Chilham Diapason.  This place is right on the edge of the Kent Downs.

Close to a busy 'A' Road, a motorway and railway station are not far away.
All three connect the same two towns.

That's the place Pete. Was quite basic inside when I went in a few years ago.  Looks more -'upmarket' now.


Next one ...
