Long gone John Walker. (I think it's been replaced twice.)  And you are on the right lines Pete!

More some lucky memories. My grandparents lived off of Canterbury Street  so the place had that feel to it. And I had only been looking at the vent a few months ago on Google Earth, thinking that with all the large trampolines in gardens these days most people won't even notice it anymore.


On to the next.

shoot999, you are correct, great work in my opinion.  No1 York Avenue which has the railway vent close to the rear garden.  Here is another picture taken at the same time.  Over to you.

Is it the smoke vent in the rail tunnel under the 'Lines' I think Gillingham tunnel?. The vent is the back garden of a house in Marlborough Road near to the Brompton Academy school.

I seem to recall there being a Fancy Dress shop on Canterbury Street, opposite the junction with Montgomery Road?

After a quick guess, I'll go for a wild one. If its the structure I'm thinking of, is it Gillingham? And if it is the nearest place I can find that fits the bill is York Avenue, possibly No 1?

shoot999 yes it is in the Medway Towns.  This sketch includes a structure that is very very close to the GTP image posted.

Thank you Pete.In 2103 we returned to the Uk on holiday and stayed there for a couple of nights.  So good to see it had not changed and the walks down through the gardens into the woods are something special.
This photo was taken in the early 1980's

My new wife and I stayed here the night we were married in 1977, The Beacon Hotel Royal Tunbridge Wells.  This photo was taken at that time.
