Thanks , I think its the son James of old man Rex Boucher, who had the house moved,   that lives there still. I didn't know it was still called Trotts Hall.
Lets try another ,see if this lasts a while..


Where did I cycle past this Gate Post with its twin in my distant youth.I never rode more than 11 or 12 miles from Sittingbourne.
( No it wasn't on a pennyfarthing).

I thought you would be first on this one, Granderog!


It`s still called "Trotts Hall". You may be able to decipher the nameplate on the right hand side of the front entrance. I`ve no idea who owns it now. I believe it was once used by Radio Rentals when it was in Bell Road

Thanks Grandarog,


That one took some finding.  I was expecting an older building so kept my searches in that direstion at first.   Then I thought Bank Street a possibility.  Even then I didn't give that building a lot of attention at first.  A good GTP.


Next one ....  Kent Downs.

You have it JW. It's one of the plaques on the old Barclays Bank Middle Row.  . This one is on Bank Street side.
Although the building only dates from 1960 it is listed.

Above the door of Bar 6 in Bank Street ?   Not sure what the building was originally but it has a Barclays Bank Motif on the other side of the building.   It looks like an ex-bank.
