You have it Pete. It is 'The Rising Sun' pub at (West) Stourmouth.

Over to you

I am going to say Dog and Duck Stourmouth as something to do with animals in the clues...


But it is more like what Pete said the Rising Sun Stourmouth

Your getting closer MartinR, but not quite there. The river 'Head' is 'Mouth', but it is neither Sarre or Fordwich.

Whilst the pub is still standing, and very active (until Covid19) it has been altered, and the thatched cottage has gone to be replace with the pub carpark.

You could say the pub has a connection with 'The Animals'!

If by "head" you really meant "mouth", then Sarre is a contender.  the street looks similar, but the pub has been rebuilt and the cross cottages shortened.

My family was on holiday, on the beach at Margate - when one outdoor tidal pool was opened.
That`s the one near the rail station. The other one at Margate (Cliftonville ?) was opened in 1937.

Fordwich?  It's the tidal limit of the Stour, is that the "head"?

Afraid its not Bossingham, John Walker, or Beltinge, Invicta Alec. Your certainly both in the right half of the county  :)


This village could be regarded as at the head of a river, though its several kilometres from the sea

Sorry for the delay.

Here is my next, but where is this tranquil setting where people on bikes could stand in the middle of the road whilst 'old-timers' potter along with a bucket and stick?
