Shoot999 does the building still stand?

There used to be a plaque in rememberance of a family killed by an AA shell, I think on a house in Ridham Ave, has that been moved too? Can't see it on streetview

[johnfilmer]

Excellent, glad its gone to a proper home. Thanks.

There was also the matter of the Bowaters Mill War Memorial that was in there. It was rescued, has it now got a new permanent home?

I think this is the refurbished memorial, now in Holy Trinity, Church, Milton Regis.

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 .

Glad I didn't look for it on Google Earth or street view then! Found it  on google by searching for pubs with a clock on the roof. Shame its gone.

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.

The Kemsley Arms, to the north of  Sittingbourne

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.

[John Walker]

Well, I haven't a clue.  A closed hotel?

[Diapason]

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

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