Guess the Place

[John Walker]

Thanks Grandarog


Once again the clues really helped.  The White Horse pub is next door.  We used to go there in the 70s - excellent meals.  Next time I hire a car, I'll have to pop back out.


Next one ....


Clue:  Not as remote as it might appear.

Well done John Walker. That card view was from the 1930's.


Your turn again!

The Street, Selling?

[grandarog]

It was the Village Post Office. Selling other goods as well like a Village shop.

[smiler]

   Was it a pub or a shop

[grandarog]

It is in one of the Villages within 5 to 6 Kms from faversham.

[John Walker]

Faversham ?

[grandarog]

Oh yes, much modernised and updated as private residences.

[John Walker]

Does it still exist ?

You have it grandarog, it is indeed Queenborough High Street looking west.


Current similar view, though with the church shrouded by a large Horse-Chestnut tree.


Over to you grandagog

The church tower shows some significant changes from the drawing.  The stumpy spire has now gone and the turret in the south-east corner now reaches above the main roof to give access onto the roof.  The bells (which I've rung in a striking competition) date from 1667 with a new treble from 1911.  The tenor has been recast several times (1722, 1911 and 1933).  The church was burnt out in 1719 and had another serious fire in 1933.  The church has an "outstanding survival of a late C17 painted ceiling" according to the official listing, and is grade II*.
