The Kemsley Arms building is pending being turned into Flats . Unfortunately the Clock was mysteriously spirited away some time ago .Allegedly by the owner at the time or was most probably stolen for scrap .

All yours shoot, Bowaters Social club then the Kemsley Arms, any one recall the name of the small  pub group that owned it? Something like Thorburn or similar?


Thorley Taverns?   They are quite active in the Thanet area.

Contrary to expectations I also didn’t have a clue. However, a bit of brain strain and the penny dropped, aided I think by memories of something on the old forum as well as a 1970s event.

Think me , John Filmer & Diapasson better pass on this one. 8)


I agree granderog, too close to home. It wouldn`t be a guess, more like a certainty.

You have it Pete. Like many others around the same period I spent many an hour outside that door during the 60s waiting for the girlfriend to arrive back from her daily London commute.
