Hmm, about ¼ mile away as the crow flies and I didn't know it was there!

Lived less than 200 yards from this complex from the 60s to 80s. The site of the original Borstal.

Motorway correct - M20 - no.  It's the other one  :D

You could probably hear the muted roar of traffic from here.

Neither CAT.  Probably has educational aspects though.

Well from a quick trip to Wikipedia that looks like a hockey pitch top right.


Looks like a cross between field hockey and 5 a side football MartinR.  Multi-purpose perhaps.

Oops, should have added for those unfamiliar with Chalk Church:
  • Grid: TQ 68322 72502
  • Post: DA12 2NL
  • WGS84: 51°25'36"N, 000°25'11"E or 51.426529,0.419750
The church is not in Chalk village, but half a mile further east.  You need to look out for a small side road, Church Road, of the main A226 "Rochester Road".
