Spot on Shoot999.  I nice old pub which I have called in to on a few occasions. 


I don't have any history on The Peacock but perhaps Grandarog has some.

You have done it again John Walker .I will pass on this one as one of my Wife's Ancestors ran the Pub in the 1880's. :)


Grandarog, hopefully you will have interesting history to add once it's been guessed.




Clue for the rest of you - South West Kent.

Thanks Grandarog. I was looking in the wrong part of Stone Street but the feel was of Cranbrook.  I've never actually walked around the town.  Looks really nice so must try and pay a visit sometime.


Next one up soon ...

Quick guess.    I can't match it exactly on GSV but it has the look of Stone Street, Cranbrook.

Thanks johnfilmer.
I still have no idea what the building was when the photo was taken..
I thought it had a Navy connection as it appears to have a Flagpole and Jackstaff in front.
Will sort a GTP tomorrow,
PS .Have just watched the Festival of Remembrance, beautifully presented this year as always.

Grandarog has the pottery kilns correct, Queenborough it is.


I knew this building in the 1960s when it was the Yard Foreman’s residence. A school friend lived there, it was very odd inside with exceptionally high ceilings and walls that did not always reach them.


All flattened now  :(
