Guess the Place

[John Walker]

That was a good one - I was miles away.  Great range of classic cars for sale - if only ....




I wonder what Grandarog has in store for us next? 

[johnfilmer]

Pye Corner it certainly is, home to an interesting array of motoring and associate specialists over the years.


The lane to the right seemed to have no name. Mr Noakes, who owned the site, the pre war Lanchester and 50s Singer Roadster, just called it The Lane when I asked him. Mind you I was walking two of our German Shepherds at the time, and 8stone of Harry leaning against him may have been a bit of a distraction 


Over to you Grandarog

Great Clue ................Marks Motors Eastwood road Pye Corner.

Very quiet today.
Simple Simon's acquaintance may have come from here - a bit of "poetic" licence...

[johnfilmer]

Come down off the Greensand Ridge a little further along.

[John Walker]

Sutton Vallence ?

[johnfilmer]

A bit further east than Coxheath.

[John Walker]

Coxheath area?

[johnfilmer]

This was the local forge, attached to Forge House. It later became a motor car and agricultural repair garage, still selling fuel about 35years ago. The site has diversified into a minor industrial estate, mainly motor orientated. The last owner did not live in Forge House, but in the house out of shot to the right, but kept his splendid Lanchester in the old forge.

Central Kent

Thats it ,You have it been like that for donkeys years.
            On the A2 just as you leave Teynham towards sittingbourne. Old Farm House.
            It is listed so I think the idea is to wait until it becomes dangerous and beyond repair then knock it down and build a housing estate on the farmyard.

[johnfilmer]

It’s Radfield House, London Road, Teynham.


Grade 2 listed, would be wonderful to see it sympathetically refurbished.

[John Walker]

Need to narrow it down, so here goes  .   Maidstone area?

[grandarog]

Thanks Pete.
This one from Street view shouldn't last long.
                                        Where is it?

[pete.mason]

Youu've got it Grandarog. It is the Weald Foundation, Rugmer Hill farm Yalding

[grandarog]

That's one of the WW1 Tanks at a Farm at Yalding. Not sure if open to the public its a restoration group that are based there.
