Adjacent to a B-road, a railway and a river.

I'm having a day off from the never ending kitchen fitting, and thought I recognised it. Actually I was a village out (Bicknor), but that was soon sorted.

We spent the odd hour or two in the Hook and Hatchet at Hucking back in my yoof. Was there an old portable steam engine (think traction engine without any drive) in the car park? Late sixties for context.

Next one, clearly on GSV - you can even go through it down to the dead end.

Farningham?


Sorry Diapason - I missed your post and carried on searching - it's an age thing  :D :D :D


I know exactly what you mean, John. I`m still struggling to come to terms with it.


Here`s one that Grandarog should know.

Is that a mausoleum, or charnel house in the background?

You are both right with the view looking west from the bottom of Old Loose Hill along the former Loose Mill pond with All Saints church to the left. I've included a Streetview similar to show how much the mill pond has been reduced.


I guess it passes to grandarog as he was first in line
