It is one of many churches on the Greensand Ridge, but further along.

The abstract that shows up on my RSS reader said "..' the most prominent building in the villa".  Aha! I thought, it must be Eynsford.  :)   Then I opened the whole message up in the browser.  Oops! :(

The gate and steps beyond provide a back entrance (just for shoot999  :) ) to the most prominent building in the village.

Rooting about old Rochester photos in pursuit of ancestors I had come across the building next to the gate and it rang a very distant bell when I saw the photo.
Sorry for delay posting the next one I was out and about - and forgot my camera. However, by the miracle that is computing, the fairies in my laptop have let me take a screenshot from GSV, in the same way as I always did, and this time it worked again - no idea ::)
Just to set the scene - at the bottom of a hill that runs up to the left, on a sharpish bend (so with chevrons). Mid Kent.

Looks like the top of Northgate?

You have it John. Has had many names, I think the latest is College Gate, and obviously Jaspers Gate  from The Mystery of Edwin Drood.


The view in the 1900s before the building next door was demolished and replaced with the road;  and the view now.

No frontage change to the central building. Can't say the same about the one next door lol.  Roofline of the central building is now symmetrical and the chimney is still in situ.

I have found a similar building but the frontage is flat.  Has the building changed since your photo Shoot999?

Thank you John. A regular haunt for those of us who worked the Thames and Medway.


Think this one is maybe a little easy? I do need to spend some time on the internet finding a few more Kent 'jewels' to carry on playing.
