I`ll let this one `run` granderog. Should be interesting, there must be a font in every church in Kent. I was fortunate enough to have this one on a shot that I took a few years ago.

[grandarog]

Back to my Baptism theme,s.Where did I see this lovely Font.

[grandarog]

Thanks Dave The Train.
I remember going up to the Airfield some time early 1960,s when on leave from RAF. Must have been before 62 as i went to Malta then. The flat building was what I recognised,the big bit with the high bits was only just out of the ground.
I will put next guess up later.

Do power lines have a connection [sic] 

I thought it might be the old Richborough Power Station building which is being converted to take power in from Belgium.

[DaveTheTrain]

You have it, Grandarog.  How did you know, out of interest?  I was hoping it would last longer but I am among professionals.


GEC Avionics Towers under construction at Rochester.

[grandarog]

Is it one of the old Marconi Avionics buildings at Rochester Airport being built years ago ?

[DaveTheTrain]

Power lines?  I cannot see any, JW?


Sorry.

Thanks Pete,  I dont often visit TW as it always seems to take so long to get there.  It better off in Sussex I feel.


Anyway, where is this building work going on.  Not housing, nor public realm.  On GSV clearly.

IIRC that's the pub that straddles the county line.  When I lived in TW there was a tale going around that if the Kent Police appeared to raid the place for after hours drinking (22:30 closing then), the landlord simply moved customers into the Sussex rooms, and vice versa of course.  I'm afraid I can't comment on the accuracy of this, I was a "Bedford" man at the time.

All yours Dave, Used to have an impressive collection of chamber pots hanging from the ceiling, from the stench in the place most were probably unemptied.Going back some 50 years here! Installed beer there, took twice as long as had to keep going outside for fresh air  .

[DaveTheTrain]

The Sussex Arms, Tunbrdige Wells, I believe.
