You are the closest Pete. Hoppers Bakery was well known in my childhood. I felt certain this one was going to need a few clues.
Over to you...

We did metalwork & woodwork at school pre 1940 -
at 11 years old - those wood joints - tenon & dovetail - came in handy later in life.
Metalwork - you had all sorts of work - cutting - bending - riveting -  useful  for joining - iron stand.

Not at all Pete. I got the village and was just about to post the oast is now residential, it being divided into four properties (called Cobbs, Harveys, Flints and Neames) collectively called Hoppers Oast. However, you have the farm name that possesses the tin-clad barn in John Walker's pic, so I think its over to you Pete once John Walker has clarified.

To save the thread stalling - the place name is 'double barrelled' -  C H.

Outskirts of a small hamlet west of Canterbury.  On the North Downs Way.

The route shows up as a blue line in GSV when you click on the little man.  It's a footpath - not a road at this point.  The big barn shows up well in the aerial view.


I'm away until Weds so not ignoring any guesses.

Close to two rail lines, a river and a busy A road.  Paper mill about 1.5km away

The oast in the background was a bakery at one time.  Now residential.   (That should help)

Not Ospringe Pete - come back east.


Not Pilgrim's Way JohnFilmer - try another 'Way'.

More East Kent.  It's on the same long route as one of my fairly recent GTPs but in a different area.
