Colion. That was the Plaza over the railway. Grand, Embassy/Odeon & Palace were the others in Gillingham.

I used to drive the whole length of the Lower Rainham Road in the late 1960`s quite often.... i always remember what i think was a BP garage near Upchurch church (Horsham Lane) it was then a car sales showroom but now a big white house is there.....so was it this garage?

It looks like one of three former petrol tanks I saw being removed from a former garage site at Stone Street, Cranbrook. However, they do all look the same.

Always bothers me when tanks are buried in the ground.  No easy way of checking the condition of them.

A question for starters.  The Medway area?

Wasn't expecting for it to go that quick.  I've had a few Christmas lunches there over the years.  Great atmosphere.


So - over to you Grandarog  :)
