It is now, or was recently but in the picture was the Gas Showroom, junction of Maidstone Road and Watling Street, Rainham.


I have distinct memories of sitting on the wall waiting for the Pilchers coach to pick up our family for a trip to London on more than one occasion. That was mid fifties, we lived just up Maidstone Road, but left in April 1958.


Over to you Pete.

Try Medway JW. As you will have gathered from Grandarog, it’s now an eatery.

Had a Meal there before Covid struck . Will pass for now give others a Chance.


I'll pass as well. Frequented a rockers cafe around the corner from there during the 60s.

Thanks JW. That was one of those that I knew, but have never visited - very strange.
This next one has undergone a serious change of use many years ago, but is still recognisable.
It may be instantly spotted by one of the many who are quite local.

Well it looks like three of our regulars know it.   :D 


No guesses from new members so whoever dives in first with the name of the location takes over for the next round.

I thought that this was in Hollingbourne church but that would be at the foot of a steep hill not the top

Grandarog and JohnFilmer, I was hoping it might attract some new members of the GTP thread.  I have noticed that GTP photos get more views than participants so it looks like other forum members are looking in.   Come on in and join us - we're not an elite bunch.  I'll keep adding clues that might help.


If we have no new 'guessers' by tomorrow evening then whoever is online first - go for it to keep the thread moving  ;D
