It was when I knew it under it's old name, run by a Hungarian. Want to have a go describing where it is?


I'll pass I'm afraid, I don't have a photo I can use....

I know where this is, but have no idea what it's called. I think it's a hotel now?

Total guess only place I could think of with elaborate Victorian brickwork. Try this, seems to have changed name so I'll accept the current or what I knew it as 25 years ago

Thats it Pete. The main one on the Bull Nose before they chopped the top off and surrounded the base with other buildings.

I only got it from searching pubs in the area following your clue. Strange,  but I lived just a short distance away by the airport and must have used this road numerous times from the 50s til the 70s. And I don't remember a thing about it!


Next one.

Yes...you have that shoot999...


There is a wood which was below Buckmore Wood called Bridge Wood and this is from which the area got its name.


Also around 1821/66 where the junction of the B2097 Rochester/Maidstone Road meets the A229 Chatham/Maidstone Road (roughly ASDA Supermarket) there were Turnpike Gates called Bridgewood Gates and the Toll paid for repairs and maintenance to those two roads down to the High Street Rochester and also Town of Chatham.

Bridgewood Chapel?  Close to the garage and Bridgewood Cottage pub.  Part of the old Maidstone Road that was bypassed.  All long gone.
