Looks like the George and Dragon, Speldhurst but there have been some subtle changes since the photo if I'm correct.

I'll accept that Pete, its now BAE systems. They did hold regular open days for Family and you were allowed into a lot of the buildings, also had stalls and events on outside including flypasts.


Over to you Pete well done

Medway is the right part of the County. A main road runs either side of the site.

Its fair to say the site has been owned by a number of companies and also renamed as a result of take overs. That could throw some light on to it as well.

I think I know this, but as I don't have any pictures to post, I'll throw a possible hint into the ring. Did the site used to belong to a company still in business but relocated elsewhere?

Hi Johnwalker, there's been no guesses so far at all. Here is an hint.


To answer my question what's going on, Its a picture of a train and a building. The day was a fun day for employees and their families. So its a big company in Kent that can do such a thing. But who & where?

Hi Lutonman


I'm a bit confused by the guesses so far. Has somebody guessed correctly or should I keep going?   :)
