Thheatre Royal Chatham ?

Not Maidstone. And the building had many uses before being demolished about 20 years ago

The WW2 Memorial from the Kemsley Arms is this one now in the Church at Milton.

Diapason's photo is the old St Pauls War Memorial board that is now at Holy Trinity Milton. The Lloyds Mill WW1 War Memorial is now at The Appleyard.

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.

Yes it is now in Holy Trinity, Church, Milton Regis, but the photograph in the following link shows a different memorial to that in Diapason's post.

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

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.
