Shame about GSV not working on mobiles KeithG - I wasn't aware of that as I've been working via my PC.


Shoot999 has it correct. 
The Street Hothfiled. 
Hothfield Common is just up the road. 
HS1 is about .5 km away. 
The A20 is also just up the road - Right to Ashford, left to Maidstone. 
Godinton House and Gardens 1km to the South East.     I was running out of clues   ;D

Originally called the "King's Head Inn." The pub changed name to the "Thanet Arms" probably around 1834 and then to the "Tufton Bailiffehouse some time after 1987, but sadly closed in 2002.

Just thought I would mention it John Walker but GSV on my mobile is not working properly and when you go to street view it will not allow??

Yes i have a computer but not in my pocket  :-\

Stately Home and Gardens about 1km to the South East.   That should be enough to find it with the other clues ...

This should help ...


The earliest name I can find for the pub on the left was The Kings Head Inn.  There were two other names before it closed.

On a quiet day you can probably hear Eurostar thundering by.


There is a car park for the nearby nature reserve which is on a common.

KeithG - The camera is facing North.


Continue along this road and you pass a large nature reserve and then join a main 'A' Road.  Turn left or right at the 'A' road and you head for large towns - one closer than the other.

A tad more of a westerly direction CAT :)


The scene today hasn't changed a great deal from the photo.  The building in the middle distance with the two large windows has gone though.

The building on the left is derelict now but previously a pub with at least three names over the years.
