The place where it was taken still fulfills the same function today, but it has changed and evolved over the years.

Yes, johnfilmer you have it. It is Key Street with the pub on the opposite diagonal corner.


I used to go pass this spot twice a day in the 1970's to and from work for around 8yrs.


As most know road improvements changed the area vastly


Over to you.......

I seem to recall it from my trips in the 50s and 60s from Rochester to the Lydden Race Circuit. So is it heading towards Lydden or away from it?

This makes me think of a small petrol station and workshop on the side of the old A2 at Barham.  Junction with Church Lane.  it was still trading in the late 50s / early 60s if I have the correct place.

Well done KeithG - Wye Road, Boughton Lees.    Looks nicer in the photo without the front gardens being used as parking bays. Wiki says that cricket has been played on the green for over 200 years!     Not the easiest of GTP's.
