Hi Johnwalker, i've had a good search and found a club called the Casino Rooms which was (and I think still is) in Minster. The venue I attended only had one name for the duration of its 10 year lifetime from the late 70's to the late 80's and so was not there.
I'll start feeding in some more clues this afternoon if the trail goes cold.

All I can say JohnWalker is that it wasn't the called Casino Club when I was attending, as far as I know it only had one name whilst it was open.

I only knew of one club on Sheppey.  It was a big one with a balcony and stage.  It had some big acts there.  I thought it was called The Casino but it was a long time ago - early 1990s so I could be wrong.  The guy who ran it was called Eric ??????.

Thanks Dave, being born & bred in Chatham, I recognised those gabled building straight away, I think the 'Fine Fare' supermarket used to be on the corner and there was a fish & chip shop there as well?
Now as the man once said, "and now for something completely different". This next one is a first for me in that it is not one of my pictures. The venue is somewhere I frequented in the first half of the 1980's on a fairly regular basis either with friends or with the future Mrs Stewie.
So where is this?

Thanks Beachbum, that was a good one. I guessed it as I recognised the brewery sign.  It looked a lot neater then.

This next one has a big clue in it.
Not that it helps but I once purchased a bag of chips in the building on the left.

Well done DTT, you have it. This is Vicarage Street, St. Peters.

The righthand structures are the same now with a Restaurant now in the Wheatsheaf. In the photo are two churches and two pubs, the Baptist Church is set back between the Wheatsheaf and St. Peters Church (the Red Lion opposite).

Over to you DTT.....

I think this is a Margate brewer, I am assuming Margate or within five miles. Or have I got it wrong?
