Thanks Grandarog,  Your clue certainly helped.  It still took a bit of finding though.




Next one ....   Shouldn't prove difficult.

Are you inside the property looking out, or is this a gated community?

Where did I come across these rather spartan and uninspiring gates ?  :-\

Thank you Diapason. :)

I was born and bred in Sittingbourne and never knew any of the history of Colwins .        Driven by thousands of times over the years ,never associated it with being 3 dwellings.
Will sort something for this evening.

At some time in the 19th century, this building was three cottages, one an alehouse, all owned owned by the vicar of Bobbing, the Rev. Simpson. There is a vast cellar beneath this building.
Later, the Co-op converted it to a grocery store which eventually became a printing works followed by Colwin`s Motorcycles.


Over to you granderog!
