I believe it is still running.


Further clue - it was or still is a working mans pub/club.  That should help.  :)

Just outside a Village.  Railway line behind the building.  Station about 700 yards away.

It is indeed in Penshurst, clearly visible on GSV, and looking a tad smarter now. Just down to the right as you look at the photo is the entrance to Penshurst Place.
Well done JW, over to you.

I think this is the building next to or at least close to Penshurst Place ?

Pete - Cowden is much "warmer"
Diapason - Probably was, but if so, 4-5years ago. Not been out much lately!

I have no idea where this place was/is but I think I`ve seen the photo before.

Was it used on the `old` forum?

Not there. Keep going west. Still near the Medway. The village has a railway station named for it, but the station is in a different village.

Thanks JW, it is so distinctive.
Next one is out to the west. Photo taken by me about 1961 with my sister's Kodak Brownie.
