I'd never heard of it before - impressive looking property.  I image the views from it were outstanding as it was on the edge of the escarpment.


Next one ...  Where is this and what is/was it's function?


(There is a name over the door and a name plaque between the left hand windows which I've 'cloned' out)

Thanks CAT.   That one really threw me as in your photo, it looks like the railway line is parallel to the the row of houses.  I was searching for this layout but in actual fact the line and road are at an angle to each other.

Very interesting info on Aylesham.  I didn't know any of that.  I used to visit Aylesham in the 60s, on my Royal Enfield and there was a big motorcycle club there.  I seem to recall they called it the 59 club?  In those days it was pre-closure of the Kent Coalfield and there was a tremendous community spirit there. Upset one resident and you upset the whole of Aylesham.    The Ratling Club was just on the outskirts and put on weekend entertainment.  In the 70s, I had many bookings there with my mobile disco.

It's laid out like a mini garden-city and now with modern shops, large medical centre.  The current expansion is amazing.  I hadn't realised about all that.  Next time I have a car for a day, I plan to detour and have a look.
