Now to search.   :D


The building made me think of Sittingbourne or Gillingham - I plumped for Gillingham.

Thank you shoot999,


You can just see "Murdoch`s Of Oxford Street" on the left of the picture and i use to go there for my vinyl records in around 1961/2.......the record counter was high and had about
6 or 7 record decks on top with the open sound cubicles behind with headphones to hear your chosen record.


Next one :

Shame about GSV not working on mobiles KeithG - I wasn't aware of that as I've been working via my PC.


Shoot999 has it correct. 
The Street Hothfiled. 
Hothfield Common is just up the road. 
HS1 is about .5 km away. 
The A20 is also just up the road - Right to Ashford, left to Maidstone. 
Godinton House and Gardens 1km to the South East.     I was running out of clues   ;D

Originally called the "King's Head Inn." The pub changed name to the "Thanet Arms" probably around 1834 and then to the "Tufton Bailiffehouse some time after 1987, but sadly closed in 2002.

Over to you Shoot999

Just thought I would mention it John Walker but GSV on my mobile is not working properly and when you go to street view it will not allow??
I for one have been struggling on and do not know how many others affected?
Yes i have a computer but not in my pocket  :-\

Stately Home and Gardens about 1km to the South East.   That should be enough to find it with the other clues ...

This should help ...


The earliest name I can find for the pub on the left was The Kings Head Inn.  There were two other names before it closed.

On a quiet day you can probably hear Eurostar thundering by.


There is a car park for the nearby nature reserve which is on a common.
