John Walker... sorry not that line.


Stuartwaters... Yes, it is part of that line
but which  part is that particular junction or station.


The trees on the left were part of a wood on a hill and us kids used to play soldiers and play hide and seek around that pillbox.

Would it be the line which connected the Royal Naval Armaments Depots at Chattenden and Lodge Hill to the one by the river at Upnor?

Keith, is that a narrow gauge railway, or standard gauge?

Was that building the Red Lion on the corner of Corporation Street /Star Hill Rochester?


That's the one Keith. Now replaced with 6/7 lanes of traffic. I noticed that the crane in the distance is still there and something of a landmark, known now as 'The Blue Crane'.


Spent most of my childhood and early teens hanging around that area; Blue Boar, Gaumont, Andys Snacks, Jacksons, etc. 


My sister in 71 before it all changed.


Naylars on the right. Think they are on the Delce now.


Over to you.  :)
