I walked through there recently, so can't join in this one.  It wouldn't really be a guess.

Which Warren Street?

It doesn't help that there are two Warren Streets in the vicinity of Lenham!  The first I found extends down from the end of Waterditch Rd past a cattery and Waggy's Dog Grooming to the Bowl Inn.  I've been up and down a couple of times on GSV but couldn't find a match.  Eventually I stumbled across the other Warren Street at the other end of Waterditch Road leading into the hamlet of Warren Street itself.  At least this one had (nearly) a Harrow Inn that looked vaguely like the GTP piccy posted.  I assume that this is the correct one, in which case:

  • Address:                  Hubbards Hill, Warren St, Warren Street, Maidstone ME17 2ED
  • Nat Grid:                 TQ 92667 52907
  • Co-ords (WGS84):  51°14'34"N,000°45'32" 51.24280,0.75893

The Harrow it is, grandarog.

It looked very uninviting, unkempt bushes and a general air of being unmaintained when I have driven past lately, it’s one of the routes we use to and from the A20 when heading east.

Time will tell. It always was a bit of an anachronism, an upbeat pub restaurant and hotel stuck on top of the Downs with a lack of local or passing trade.

Over to you.
