Guess the Place

[CAT]

Again apologies, work always gets in the way of play.


Many thanks John Walker. Interestingly enough, I drove past that very shop about two days prior to you posting the image.


Here is my next, which is another church with a very intriguing history, not only the church itself, but the surrounding immediate landscape.

Apologies for the delay, I shall remedy ASAP

Could it be 'The Old Post Office' in Sissinghurst, now an antique/curios shop?

Spot on CAT.    Over to you 🙀

The Fig Tree, Lenham?

Current view, or historic?

Photo is as per the 2021 GSV but in B+W.  Shop is no longer in use as it was in the past.  Nameplate over the door has been blanked as it made it rather obvious.


Mid Kent.


Further clues will follow if not guessed.

thanks Local Hiker.  I've just had a look on Google.  The Old Wine Vault looks worth a visit next time I visit Faversham.

Village location.

You are correct John Walker.
The alley is "Cross Street", running west from Preston Street, Faversham.
The ground floor is currently "The Spice Lounge" Indian Restaurant.
The mayor who lived there was Edward Jacob.
The pub to the left that you mention is "The Old Wine Vault".

[John Walker]

It looks like an alley that leads to a car park in Faversham.  If I'm correct the building on the left is a pub.

Thanks Diapason. It was a matter of image searching. I have never been in Bobbing Church, but I do drive by occasionally.

So, for the next one, I walked along this alley yesterday, and was most intrigued by the Tudor overhang. (on my way to lunch).
It is a bit obscure, so I think I need to support it with clues from the start.

The town mayor lived here for 4 non-contiguous years in the 18th century.
The town has a significant railway junction.

That was quick!

I have never seen this memorial, but the clues all pointed to Detling.
