Well done JW, Pluckley it is. Their pavers, or paviours, were dark purple brown colour, often with a diamond grip pattern, and there were drainage ones. They usually had an impressed Pluckley mark.


We had a ruined barn floor of them, which we reused when we lifted and extended the floor into the revised building (24ft x 18ft garage and workshop  ;D ).


Over to you...

Pluckley Brick and Tile Works.  That had a substantial siding off the main line.

The adjacent station is a frightful distance from the village that it serves.

Not there Beachbum, west of Ashford.


Their bricks were noted for flooring, especially agricultural uses.

You are excused JW, senior moment and all that ;D
Seriously that was very odd, I just knew where it was even though I may only have ever zoomed past on the main road. It was all down to many happy hours spent wandering around a virtual Canterbury and its environs looking for other Guess the Place locations. Either that or I've got a bit Mystic Meg...
Meanwhile. This scene no longer exists, but it was there from about 1850 until recently. It famously produced a particular variation of a common kentish product of the time. Railway is almost adjacent, it had a private siding to shift the heavy product.

Well done JohnFilmer ;D - The correct answer in under 42 minutes  !!Lawrence House - currently the offices for Pharon - Independant Financial Advisers.  On Summer Hill.In the 50s it was the head office for the East Kent Bus Company and in the 60s it was the offices of the Canterbury Water CompanyI can't find any early info on the house but perhaps another member knows about it.Over to you
