Guess the Place

[John Walker]

Start of Calverly Road, Tunbridge Wells.  As far as I can make out, only the building behind the road sign remains at this end of the road.

John is heading in the right direction. Not Riverhead.

[KeithG]

I have to ask cos keep thinking about it.


Any chance it is at Riverhead where there was an old A25 junction

[John Walker]

Tonbridge High Street ?

[Smiffy]

Sorry John - go south.

[John Walker]

Dartford High Street ?

Naughty boy reporting in 
 
I posted this on the old forum a long time ago as I found it in my photo collection but could not identify it myself at the time. Not sure when it was taken, but you may note that the street signs are blacked out which is not something I have done - this is unretouched from the original.

   Thats fine Keith G I was to be fair thinking of the woodyard but of Scotts yard in Medway St between the flour mills and Russells garage. Remember a big fire there in the 60s ?

Thank you for that smiler.

[KeithG]

Smiffy you did not offend me at all...... Having the need for exactness has always got me into trouble even at 71yrs    that is what happens when you have a trade that needs things to be correct.


So you answered without having your picture ready.... Your a naughty boy

KeithG, sorry if I caused you offence, I was not implying at all that you were actually being cruel or unfair. I was only joking - hence the smiley!
 
I don't usually join in with Guess the Place so I'll have to have a rummage to see what I can find. Watch this space...

[KeithG]

smiffy... you are correct , but i am not being cruel at all as it is a game?


Look at smilers question: "Is it between Chatham High Street and Medway Street could that be Scotts wood Yard or the flour mill in front"


The picture i put up is not between High Street and Medway Street and that particular part of Scotts is where the boats unloaded the timber at the wharf next door to Hookers mill and not behind it?


I have a picture of an invoice which says Wharves - High Street and Medway Street and my picture was of the High Street branch.


I have not hidden anything and have been truthful but nobody found the building wall which still exists?


Perhaps you should cast your mind back quite a few years when a Guess the Place picture was of a clock tower with the only one hand on the Two....so everyone was looking for a one handed clock face but in fact it was Ten Past two ....nobody complained just fun!


I used to frequent this place for my timber in the late `60`s early `70`s as i was a qualified  Joiner / Shopfitter


Anyway sorry to those who think it was unfair but i did answer properly all questions asked.


Over to You smiffy

KeithG, I think you're being very cruel here...
 
I know exactly where this is - smiler actually got it, it's Scott's timber yard. The entrance depicted is in (or was in) Chatham high street. The main entrance was around the corner in Railway street. This is one of a set of pictures taken in 1982, probably just prior to demolition. The building on the right has I think, always been a building society.

[KeithG]

smiler....No, the building that the wall belongs to and is still there was not a Pub but of course they were all around.

[smiler]

Was the building thats still there once a pub
