Just thought I would mention it John Walker but GSV on my mobile is not working properly and when you go to street view it will not allow??
I for one have been struggling on and do not know how many others affected?
Yes i have a computer but not in my pocket  :-\

Stately Home and Gardens about 1km to the South East.   That should be enough to find it with the other clues ...

This should help ...


The earliest name I can find for the pub on the left was The Kings Head Inn.  There were two other names before it closed.

On a quiet day you can probably hear Eurostar thundering by.


There is a car park for the nearby nature reserve which is on a common.

KeithG - The camera is facing North.


Continue along this road and you pass a large nature reserve and then join a main 'A' Road.  Turn left or right at the 'A' road and you head for large towns - one closer than the other.

A tad more of a westerly direction CAT :)


The scene today hasn't changed a great deal from the photo.  The building in the middle distance with the two large windows has gone though.

As southwest of Canterbury as Stowting or Brabourne?

The building on the left is derelict now but previously a pub with at least three names over the years.

Not Wingham, KeithG - Head roughly south west.

Thanks KeithG

I wasn't expecting that.  From what I could see it was very similar but there appeared to be some differences.  Possibly changes over the years or just a slightly different angle of view.


Next one ...


The building on the left and the one on the right still exist.  Can be seen on GSV.
