Well my first go at being "it" on Guess the Place didn't last very long.

Despite me desperately trying to throw a red herring at DaveTheTrain, MartinR with his superior knowledge of Kentish drinking establishments has caught me out.

St.Pancras and the Carpenters Arms are both in Coldred.

To my mind when people talk about deepest darkest Kent, Coldred would get my vote. It really is nowhere near anywhere  :)
I can see I'm going to have to try harder next time I win.

Over to you MartinR.

Would this be close to a private cricket ground?


Dunno about a cricket ground Dave but if you need a clue then its not far from St.Pancras  :)

Is it one of the posts used for the Anglo-French survey of 1784-1790?

Not Samphire Hoe KeithG but the right general area of the county.
