Was it an Astra nomical explosion?


Not that one although that's not too far away.  I'm sure anyone in the area of the pub heard the Astra explosion.   However, there was another smaller explosion closer to this pub.   Didn't get the same publicity as the Astra one but the village was evacuated. The pub is on a road that connects two villages and probably does a good trade with numerous holiday makers who stay close by.

Richborough?


Not Richborough Stewie but you are quite close.  A much smaller explosion.  The pub is on a road that connects two villages and probably does a good trade with numerous holiday makers who stay close by.

12th century Anglican church and a nature reserve are not far away.   Railway line aprox 800 mtrs behind this pub.

I had to smile at " another"pub. It reminded me of early days as a sales engineer in a new territory. A new large town, i stooped to ask a lady where x was( way before satnav) & she said," drive along here to the George & Dragon on the fight, turn down there & you'll see the Kings Arms on the left, turn down the road just past it & at the bottom is the Royal Oak & it's the next door to that"!  It wasn't slurred speech either.


That's funny but quite true.  This pub is none of those though   :D :D :D   On GSV

Thanks JohnFilmer.  It was a quick guess but the wide street made me think of West Malling.


Next one ...


What and where is this pub?
