Farningham?


Sorry Diapason - I missed your post and carried on searching - it's an age thing  :D :D :D


I know exactly what you mean, John. I`m still struggling to come to terms with it.


Here`s one that Grandarog should know.

Is that a mausoleum, or charnel house in the background?

Thanks Cat.
 Lets see who can find in which Village Churchyard this Memorial stands.

You are both right with the view looking west from the bottom of Old Loose Hill along the former Loose Mill pond with All Saints church to the left. I've included a Streetview similar to show how much the mill pond has been reduced.


I guess it passes to grandarog as he was first in line

That looks like the river with Loose in the background. Might be wrong as have'nt been there since the 1970's for a Wedding at the Church.

Just to add a snippet to John's excellent piece; generations of schoolboys and lab staff regarded Whatman filters as the ONLY filter paper worth keeping in the lab.

Many thanks John Walker, and very informative despite the fact I once worked there when the site was in the process of being converted into the industrial park, so I recognised the entrance under the railway bridge.


My next probably won't last long as it's a popular idyllic view from Kent. Don't be swayed by the colouring of the pic, which is applied by hand to an earlier black 'n' white picture of the late nineteenth century.
