A Roman Villa was found in the field next to this GTP although it never seemed to make any headlines as I recall.


This GTP is built on fairly low laying ground with a hill rising behind it.

An estuary used to come very close to this place.  (That should help  :)  )

South of M20?




NNE of the M20 and the A2


Still in use as far as I'm aware.


I used to renovate/paint old ploughs and mangles in the grounds before the re-location of the artefacts.

First guess -  Close to Charing Church.


More likely to be within or close to the Precincts of Canterbury Cathedral.


Neither of those Diapason.  I'll hold back on clues other than to say it's not West Kent but the building can be seen on GSV (Not this view).

Yes it is indeed John Walker, the entrances to a short tunnel in Chatham Hill.
From various threads and blogs that I have read it is reputedly one of the entrances to the legendary Medway tunnel network that links everywhere to everywhere else!
Looks to be some sort of council store and my son noticed the doors open when he was coming home from work earlier in the year.


Thanks Stewie,  I was lucky there but for some reason, it woke up a memory from some time back but I wasn't certain.


Next one up soon ...

I recall this being talked about elsewhere. It was a store/cellar for one of the terrace houses that were there, one of several I believe
