It certainly is Newnham grandarog. Local knowledge is wonderful - how else would I have got the last GTP?

That's the Church of St Peter and Paul at Newnham. You may remember I posted the Delaune Cycling Club memorial plaque on the outer wall of the church as a GTP .

I have spent a considerable time sitting in the queue for the lights, wondering what that building is - now I know.
At school in Sittingbourne throughout the sixties, Crown Quay Lane was always Cranky Lane to the locals.
Another church this time
Ditto!!! but you beat me to it, John.

Back in November there was a short discussion involving a winch and the PS Amos was mentioned.  I looked for her today as we were coming up to moor, and the barge she was on is still there, but empty.

Gotcha I think.
Crown Quay Lane, Sittingbourne, opposite SMC garage by the roundabout to Eurolink.
Sign says "The Quays" - no idea!
