Trying to be different, where is this? It looks like something from an "aliens have landed" film.

Only last Friday I was using GSV to roam around Farningham looking for the pub where my wife and her oldest friend went to a folk club in the early/mid 70s. They couldn’t be sure, but I remembered the shop from my views of the Chequers opposite. So all down to luck and what’s left of the short term memory  :D


Back soon, presently sitting in garden using iPad, with which I have no idea how to post photos, so I’ll be off to the laptop, I pretend to know how to use Windows.

You have it Grandarog  :) .  I took the photo when I was there a few days ago.  Probably the only peaceful place left in Canterbury.


Over to you ...

Approx 1/2 km from a railway station and a river.


The spire and the tree can both be seen on GSV but from a different angle.
