Well that's me rumbled - I stole the image from there grandarog! I was looking for something else, but found that first, and in a hurry to get something other than a bus shelter as a clue...

 Know it so will hold off.
 You can read all about it in the  Medway Action Forum booklet. March 2018 Issue 540.

This is a poor picture of somewhere that I would like to know more about. It was demolished about 1885 so street view is no use!

Generally Medway area.

Thank you grandarog, I'll put up the next one tomorrow.

My grandfather's uncle was the saddler and harness maker in Chilham at the start of the 20th century. Walter Clements is buried in the churchyard, and the house facing the square, backing onto the Church is called Clements Cottage. His father was also a Saddler and was born in Doddington a few hundred yards from where I live now. He was trained by the local saddler before setting up on his own, first in Minster, Sheppey, then in Butchery Lane, Canterbury.

Small world...

It’s usually a popular place for a guess.

Chilham looking down the hill from the square towards the car park.

That aircraft your uncle was standing in front of is quite a might machine. Having the dog there was a nice touch as well!

It always amazes me that the Shorts Stirling bomber made its maiden flight from Rochester. Given that there was a bit more room than now....
 As a child I used to see as many as 3 Sunderlands bobbing at anchor  on the Medway by the Seaplane works
Only the launching ramp left now.
