Guess the Place

New Inn, Havelock St, Canterbury

Thank you MartinR.   The horse thing took some searching .  A church I hope to visit sometime when we're allowed out again.....




Next one ...

Well done John, you've covered all points.  The listing includes the mounting block at the west end.  The tenor bell has the inscription "Sancte Andree Ora Pro Nobis" (Saint Andrew pray for us) which is odd since the dedication has always been to St Thomas.

You are all quite safe ! I don't know this one  .
Love seeing all the Guess The Place photo's , just don't know many of them. x

Here's an atmospheric picture of a Grade I building for you, the original church may date from 1294.  It is interesting that the dedication on the tenor bell is not the same as that of the church.  Bonus points if anyone can explain the equestrian edifice at the west end.

44 is what GSV quotes, but that may be the other side of the Road.  I modified my answer to mention that the ginnel leads down to Dunning's Lane if that helps.

Thats it. Its the odd numbers on that side, and they are out of sync with those opposite. Its numbers are 97-99. And the alleyway was Dunnings Lane.


It was originally the Foresters Arms, and subsequently Baldwins Motorcyles where I used to buy my bikes from.


And the KHF connected which Lyn L spotted straight away?  It was the childhood home of the well respected and sorely missed Peter Challis.

Upper floor of two private houses at 44 Maidstone Rd, Rochester.  End terrace, next to an alley whose name I can't see on GSV.

I think you have it, but its not No 44.

Anything connected with ` Morden Terrace ` perhaps a pub, opposite the Watt`s Almshouses in
Maidstone Road, Rochester. ( Morden Arms ? )

Very close. Probably in your line of site from there.


For info the original Morden Arms was in Queen Street; and the new build Morden Arms was located on the site of the old Morden Street; now John Street. . In fact located right where my home in Morden Street used to be!

Don't think there is a Capstone Road anywhere near? But I would add to your last although the GTP has no connection to Dickens, there are a number of Dickens connections close by.

[John Walker]

Capstone Road area?

[shoot999]

Unfounded guess - Dickens?

No one  famous,  purely KHF related.  [size=78%] [/size][/size]But I believe the place  has been featured as a GTP; and definitely appeared elsewhere on the the old forum on a couple of threads.[size=78%]


Location wise,  wouldn't go far wrong by revisiting the last half dozen posts.
