If you go through this tunnel at certain times you would likely hear a deep rumble.
East Kent again.

Quarry or military?


Neither Pete. Access for agricultural vehicles now mainly.   It's on a well-known walking route through Kent.  Those are pallets piled up at the other end.  On a very large farm.

Thanks for the info CAT.  I look forward to our visit.

You have it John Walker, it is indeed Hole Park near Rolvenden.


Though the house was largely rebuilt/remodelled in the 1950's (and not open to the public as its still a family home) I thought the gardens and grounds were fantastic. Not large, but very well organised with many different garden areas and a pleasant woodland walk. I think you will both enjoy it.


Had to take the old Rolls estate as the Sunday trip Lamborgini was still being polished by the chauffer  :) .


Over to you John Walker

By coincidence, I think that's where my wife wants to visit later this month - Hole Park?
It will be interesting to hear what you thought of your visit CAT.  I'm surprised they let you park your car right outside ;D

As is always the case, if you know it, it's easy.


Many thanks Pete.


Here is my next, which pleased the wife, as it's somewhere she had never been before, but where?

You are the closest Pete. Hoppers Bakery was well known in my childhood. I felt certain this one was going to need a few clues.
Over to you...

We did metalwork & woodwork at school pre 1940 -
at 11 years old - those wood joints - tenon & dovetail - came in handy later in life.
Metalwork - you had all sorts of work - cutting - bending - riveting -  useful  for joining - iron stand.

Not at all Pete. I got the village and was just about to post the oast is now residential, it being divided into four properties (called Cobbs, Harveys, Flints and Neames) collectively called Hoppers Oast. However, you have the farm name that possesses the tin-clad barn in John Walker's pic, so I think its over to you Pete once John Walker has clarified.
