John Walker triumphs again.
           For Info . The WW1 connection was that the Trotts Hall houses were built along with Glovers Crescent on the old Glovers Estate Grounds by the Council in 1926-1928 as part of the post WW1 need to provide more housing.
          During WW 1  Glovers House was a VAD Hospital . Trotts Hall House which stood roughly where Jarmans Solicitors Building is now.Was dismantled brick by brick and rebuilt at Milstead where it is now.


Photo house as is more recently.

DtT. Following your day out, can we expect a series of GtP taken from the Flying Scot- although I doubt it went anywhere near Maidstone to help Bill?


A good question Dave.   As it happens I did not take any photos.  I could not get near the engine at Canterbury or Folketone (the two stopping points) due to the huge numbers of photographers and sightseers.   It was a real crush.


It was a great day out, although we were delayed a little.

Slight  historical importance attached to the houses there. More in the Name of the place.The pre WW2 development was named after a local family who figured large in the First world war.


Clue East of the town centre.

I assume there is something special about it or its history.  There are quite a few semis in Sittingbourne that are just plain ordinary.

Not a Pub it is a Semi Detached house that was up for sale when the photo was taken.

I presume it's a pub.  If it is does it operate as a pub?
