Stand for taking a salute?

Sorry Martin,the clue gave it away. Thanks for putting the coordinates up.


Thanks John Walker here,s my next ,should go quickly.

[MartinR]

Don't worry John I was waiting for someone to get it before posting the coordinates.

[John Walker]

You were so close MartinR (thanks for the coordinates) but Grandarog has pipped you to the post.


Over to you Grandarog.

With that clue it has to be the Fox and Hounds. Hook Green. Currently Bartellos restaurant.

The second and third old images are also credited as F&H Hook Green Meopham Apparently Rebuilt 1924

[/size]“The Fox and Hounds”, first mentioned in 1836, with the present building built in 1924, now called "Bartellas", and is a licensed restaurant.[/color]

Are we in Meopham somewhere?

Sure are MartinR - very hot now.

Are we in Meopham somewhere?

[John Walker]

The original name of the pub is now an illegal combination  ....

We seem to have come to a halt so another clue - a subtle one.   A Macdonalds sign might help.

I remember the watercress beds in Newington. Our school was evacuated there in - 1939.
We lived in Church Lane, the watercress beds were on the same `lane` to Upchurch.

Now a restaurant in a medium-size village - north west of Maidstone.


On a fairly busy 'A' road that runs North/South.  Station about 1/2 Km away.


This earlier photo might help as the thread seems to have stalled.

Worringly I recognised it immediately, even though I lived a couple of miles up the road nearly 50 years ago. Also as a bunch of 20 somethings it was between us and the off licence so it was driven past a lot
So I'll pass and let someone else have a crack at it.
