1,000,000 reads - that's quite something.

Ref: current GTP - Eastchurch High Street?

CAT's guess of mid Sheppey and a search of pubs in the area helped.

Next one up once DTT has confirmed the above.

Yes I had noticed. Unfortunately with very little input from members on all the other subject pages it is the only thing keeping the Forum afloat. When I look to the stats at the bottom of the home page there are usually far more guests viewing than members.
We must be thankful that Stu keeps he Forum going for us that use it regularly.

Found it but CAT was so close, so I'll hold back for now.

Are we looking towards the central/east of Sheppey?

Not a Guess,I'le pass on this one.You cant fool me that easy DTT i know where it is.Mind you, I wasn't around in 1925, to pop into FW Coopers shop to get my daily paper.Your Postcard could date as late as 1945.

Thanks Stewie.  A good one.  I have not been there for  over twenty years, I remember how much I loved looking at the old forge.

Now this photo is a bit outside of my usual areas to throw Rog off the scent. ☺☺

I know where it is but have only driven it a few times in my adult life.

Guess away, no clues yet.

Well done Dave, the building is Sandling Farmhouse at Kent Life, taken on a very wet Mothers Day a few weeks ago, Mrs Stewie is peering out of the frond door! From the Wikipedia page:

Sandling farmhouse is one of the original farm buildings. It was the home of George Brundle, the last tenant of the farm until his death at 98 in 2001. The building dates to the sixteenth century, and has links to Sir Thomas Wyatt.

Over to you Dave.

Found it,  I thought I recognised it so I assumed it was a pub. But it is the Museum of Kent Life, Aylesford. And a very nice place it is too.

Is it a former pub, Stewie?
