Assumed this would go quickly as these were well known structures about 40 years ago and featured a number of times on the old site. John Walker's guess isn't far off.
Having just checked the location again it is not surprisingly just another housing estate. :(

Shoot999 - ref: your GTP - anything to do with Thames Port ?


Not Thames Port John, but you are thinking along the right lines.

It was my wife's ancestors. Jeffrey and Amos Mercer that were Beer Sellers and Landlords of the Peacock in the 19th Century.
PEACOCK Pub of Iden Green (dover-kent.com)






Interesting pub.  Will mean more to me next time I call in.   :)

I don't think this one will need any clues.

Spot on Shoot999.  I nice old pub which I have called in to on a few occasions. 


I don't have any history on The Peacock but perhaps Grandarog has some.

You have done it again John Walker .I will pass on this one as one of my Wife's Ancestors ran the Pub in the 1880's. :)


Grandarog, hopefully you will have interesting history to add once it's been guessed.




Clue for the rest of you - South West Kent.
