Not Strood, but that part of Kent.


Were CAV in Strood? I remember dad working for them along the Esplanade in Rochester.

Spot on, shoot999!


Shoot999, I was there after Xmas. It looks quite different...

I took this photo at least 5 years ago.


I must get out with my camera - all my offerings are being guessed immediately. I thought this one would have lasted bit longer.







Got it just by chance as I was familiar with the area 50 years ago. And I think with Covid we are all getting a bit short on GTP pics to choose from.


Hence my next offering   ;D

Elmley, Isle of Sheppey. Just below the old crossing near the old Ferry Road?

Spot on, Diapason. I cannot find out much about it on The Internet. The whole area, Blue Town, is steeped in history. I love walking or cycling around there. (I must reduce image sizes in future)


Over to you...

The Old County Courthouse, near the Lord Nelson pub and the Dockyard on the Isle of Sheppey?

Thanks John Walker. I have never been but it looks a nice place, easily googled to find it.


This is a nice building, a little off the beaten track for what its purpose was. I have hidden the pub name to the right, otherwise it would have been a little easy to find. Where was I? (November 2020)
