Thanks Pete,


Funny story about the pilots and their top ups.  I guessed it was near water due to the stilts.  Tried the Medway area and then move onto Gravesend.  A town I've never visited.  I'm sure there's plenty of history to explore on day.


Next one - not a pub or a church this time - should be an easy one for our railway guys...

It is, home of the pilots. When I was on calls, working in the Clarendon Hotel opposite never ceased to amaze me the number of pilots that came in, with their chart cases and asked for "the usual,  I'm sailing in 15 minutes". Barman gets a bottle of Perrier out of the cooler, tips half down the sink and adds a couple of shots of gin or vodka. I'm sure such things never happen now :o

Well done Pete. Its the Strand Cafe. I've put up the two previous Strand Cafes on GTP and they went pretty quickly. This ones quite new so obvious took longer.  It's only been there 55 years lol.


As you can see from this pic, I had to crop it quite severely to cover up the more obvious landmarks.

One of those Jezreel shops was a curtain fabric one.
I had made to measure curtains made for my new home in 1975. Loved them and the ladies who worked there. May well have been the one with the green pillar in the middle of it.

 Nothing formal like a school, youth club, and not exclusively for children.  To recap, near Rainham, a nondescript building  within a larger complex and no connection to work or study.
