Guess the Place

[John Walker]

Customs House at port?

Not a port JohnFilmer.   


Clue: A street near the coast.  The door can be seen on GSV.

Customs House at port?

[John Walker]

Water about 200 mtrs away and more about 1km away.

Somewhere in Canterbury??

Not Canterbury Grandarog.  Nearer the coast.

MartinR, Google has renamed The Street, but the locals haven’t! I have found this happens quite often where sections of roads change their name for relatively short distances, especially in rural areas.

Somewhere in Canterbury??

Hundreds of people walk past that door probably every day.  Until a few years back, a lot of them would have entered that doorway.

I was searching for "The Street", I see that it's been renamed "Eastling Road"!

[John Walker]

Had a bit of luck there and ended up in Eastling after only a couple of searches.   Thanks for the additional info JohnFilmer.




Next one.


Where will you find this ornate door?

Still exists.

The picture is one of a series, I have seen three, this one, one taken looking down the top of Newnham Lane, and one looking back from further up the street. From memory (I can't quickly find the others) the usual suspects, children, are in all three.
The publisher was Doughty, the shopkeeper just near the Carpenters Arms. A well known local name as Doughty is the name of the renowned butchers in Doddington, although I understand that the owners retired in October it continues to thrive under new ownership.

JW pipped me to the post. This is what I wrote.


Not Bredgar Lutonman.


The lane to the right of the photo is named for the village to which it leads in about a mile or so.


The pub is just out of sight on the right of the Street ahead. There is a lovely old house almost opposite the pub, at the top of the hill leading to the church and school.


This part of The Street is pretty much one sided.




And yes, it is Eastling, from the top of Newnham Lane. Well done JW, over to you.

[John Walker]

I think it might be Eastling but the buildings that have replaced the first one on the right look equally old.

[Lutonman]

Bredgar?

[johnfilmer]

South of M2 Diapason. The village still has a pub, church and school.

Lynsted Lane?
