Thanks Beachbum, that was a good one. I guessed it as I recognised the brewery sign.  It looked a lot neater then.

This next one has a big clue in it.
Not that it helps but I once purchased a bag of chips in the building on the left.

Well done DTT, you have it. This is Vicarage Street, St. Peters.

The righthand structures are the same now with a Restaurant now in the Wheatsheaf. In the photo are two churches and two pubs, the Baptist Church is set back between the Wheatsheaf and St. Peters Church (the Red Lion opposite).

Over to you DTT.....

I think this is a Margate brewer, I am assuming Margate or within five miles. Or have I got it wrong?

Found it.  My Bro in Law was born close to that location and used to go to church at this location when he was about four years old.  I'll hold for now as I've just had a couple of GTPs.

It looks like two Boy Scouts in the road, so they bring the date to after 1908 at the very least.

Very impressive photo, I would love to know who the elegant lady in the serious black hat was, very assured in her body language.

Thanks John Walker, often treated as a shortcut until a bus gets involved  :)

The next one is circa 1900

Thanks JohnFilmer and MartinR for the location details.

Next one - (the bridge I thought JohnFilmer's GTP was, working from memory)   Not quite the same though.

Once again - a working line.
