Has KHF been off-air?  There seems to have been no posts for a month.  I have been on hols so must have missed something.

It is Beachbum, and although about a mile from my home, I have never been there either. My wife and her friends go quite a lot, probably for the coffee and cake 😁

Over to you…

We only refrain in hopes of attracting new blood to GTP.

Possibly an uphill struggle if lots of people refrain because they recognise it...

For those without such knowledge, it is north of the M20 and south of the M2. The grand house is late Victorian, which is not open, but the access is to the 10acre gardens, mainly Edwardian.

Sorry to have been AWOL today, a bit going on including putting away two tonne bags of logs that arrived, stacking them is like dry stone walling and very satisfying, but a little hard on the back!

If you follow the road from Lower Halstow to the A2, Breach Lane, I lived by the A2 junction from 1958 to 72. Eastwoods were still producing bricks and a bike ride down there was a regular entertainment, with a visit to the Post Office for supplies (sweets) a must-do part of the adventure.

Meantime, here is the next one. Not on Street View, but the photo is lifted from the website of the attraction itself.

Thanks for your informative post stuartwaters. The Westmoreland Restoration had to be abandoned. She was stored in a Drydock moored to a Buoy in Lower Halstow reach for some while as Grants were sought  Unfortunately a gale force storm caused it  to sink. With the Aft section of Westmoreland smashed and extensive damage to the rest the restoration became unviable.
 There are details on this link:-
