Re: my previous post to Jackie Paper, 'it is not Chilham'. However, Jackie Paper further said 'I now think it's Sutton Valence'. I have asked for a clarification as to whether this is a legitimate guess (of Sutton Valence). If it is then Jackie Paper should take the mantle (sorry John Walker), whom is also correct. It is indeed Looking down Tumblers Hill towards Broad Street. See attached for comparison.

Good morning all and apologies for the delay, but the wife's birthday had to come first.

It is not Chilham Jackie Paper, though with the wealth of period buildings I can see why you would think so.

I'm sure you have had a fun time literally 'going around the houses'

Is your 'think it's' an actual guess as an almost identical view can be had on Streetview, virtually unchanged?

After a virtual tour of many Kent villages on streetview, I now think it's Sutton Valence.

A bit of google streetview suggests maybe not Chilham.
That raised pavement is familiar. Would it still be there if we visited today?

Many thanks grandarog.

As a confession, despite working next to it, over the road from it and everywhere near it, I've never been inside. Will make a special effort next time.

Here is my next offering, which is a period village view, which also might not take to long, but where....?

Certainly is CAT. Well visited place so didn't think it would last long.
Just to the left of the main door as you approach.
Over to you.
