Well done .You take it Diapason. I did a traffic count there about 5 years ago.


I did wonder how you knew it, Grandarog.  It is a bit out of your area and I had hoped it would last a little longer, but I am playing with knowledgeable folks. :)


You should have taken this one granderog, your `guess`was far more precise than my own.

Well done, chaps.  It is the Kennigton Garage, in the ownership of the Crouch family.  You chaps posted within a minute or so of each other, but Diapson had it slightly sooner.

I think Kennington Garage and Crouch`s Garage are one and the same. So I think the next GTP is yours, granderog.

That,s the old Crouch's Garage on Church Road Ashford . Must have been 3 or 4 years since it closed.

Sorry for the short delay, chaps.  A small weather-related issue tonight.  Our shopping was due to be delivered tonight, but Sainsbury's called to say "no can do, bad weather"... and so we had to go and collect.  Anyway, back now.


Where was/is this Garage.  Sadly, I think it has closed down now, but it is a large and airy building.

shoot. Thanks for the web address for the Plaza. Many happy hours there, especially watching cowboy films in the late 30's.

It is, formerly Lady Hamilton and Ship . From the design it looks to have been a 1930s Whitbread road house, built for the coach trip trade

The Aviator, Queenborough.   It took a few mins, but I knew I had been in there!

Plaza, Duncan Rd Gillingham?


You have it Pete. A somewhat down market cinema that was turned into a TV studio and a few other things before being demolished. Over to you.
