(OT) The Rochester door is the oldest Norman door in England, and one of the oldest in Europe. Visible only by appointment.

I can see your thinking also John Walker, but incorrect. It is however, on an ecclesiastical building, but nothing as grand as a cathedral, or even a monastery/priory.

It's not that one MartinR, but it could be of a similar age (though I don't know the age of the Rochester door, or ironwork)

That looks suspiciously like the ancient door to the turret stairs in the north quire transept of Rochester Cathedral.

Many Thanks KeithG, though I feel I may have snatched it from others who were very close also?
Here is my next which is a detail of some very important Kentish ironwork.
But where?

Would that be the Horsnaill and Reynolds corn merchants?

castle261....sorry not cement those factories are further around the river.
CAT......Yes, they are next to the Stewart and Spencer Oil and Seed Mills which were taken over by British Oil and Cake Mills in 1899 until 1953.
My Stepmother worked for them in the War Years and this company had the only Gantry or Walkway over Canal Road to join the warehouses together, my Stepmother told me of the times she pushed a sack barrow over that Walkway with sacks of peanuts on the barrow.
However the larger Warehouse next door where the boat is alongside is the one which is needed?
They had shops in Strood and Rochester High Street selling corn and seeds from which the boats sailed from Egypt India and Russia.

Are they next to the Stewart and Spencer Oil and Seed Mills, which included a vegetable oil soap plant?
