Guess the Place

[MartinR]

It always surprises me how far the monument is from from the "location", also how recent.

[John Walker]

The location this memorial commemorates is at the top of a hill.

From the wreaths I presume a war memorial, but is it a group (eg village) or for a single event such as a plane crash site?

Not quite right, but you are on the right lines with a war memorial and planes.  Individuals are not named on it.


It covers the first and second world war.

Thanks Johnfilmer


I hope a few more will join in on this one.

You have it JW, Newnham Street.


We have had the church a couple of times on GTP, and I was sampling the menu at the George only last Wednesday. Homemade steak and kidney pudding anyone?


I nearly got caught out as I went off to do a couple of errands and the light was fading fast, so went to one of the nearest old post offices that I knew in my vicinity to get the photo.


Over to you.

The Street, Newnham, nr Faversham ?


Amazing how your clues painted a picture in my mind of the location.  I thought it was Doddington at first but then remembered the church there was very different.

Not Hartlip JW.


It is south of M2.


Remember that the nearby church has a spire, and the pub is almost opposite the church.


Historic house at top of lane opposite old PO, on hill overlooking valley where village sits.

[John Walker]

Hartlip area?

[johnfilmer]

Not Marden JW. I may have misled you with “mid Kent”, as although mid in the sense of east west, it is north of M20.

[John Walker]

Marden area?

[johnfilmer]

Sorry, I forgot to say, Mid Kent.

[johnfilmer]

Decent, still open, pub serving excellent food, and church close nearby (spire visible over roof of house).

[johnfilmer]

We have done Dead Pubs a lot, but there are many on-line listings of pubs dead and alive, so I wondered what else has been disappearing. Little local petrol stations was one thought, but these are often redeveloped beyond recognition.
So... Old Post Offices.
Could be a rich seam for us to mine
