Spot on Mr JW !! yours, I thought it would last longer than that.


Thanks Pete.   It seemed familiar and I was racking my noddle.  I remembered I'd had a meal in a pub like that with family who lived in Tunbridge Wells at the time.  Started to search surrounded villages and there it was.

There's a funny story attached to that meal.  It was very busy in the restaurant and we'd finished our main course.  The puddings arrived and my niece suddenly said "Oh no, my pudding's stone cold".  Her three year old son shouted out very loudly, "Oh bo***cks Mum".  There followed a very embarrassing silence in the restaurant and an even more embarrassed niece.


Next one ...  Where is this ?

Looks like the George and Dragon, Speldhurst but there have been some subtle changes since the photo if I'm correct.

I'll accept that Pete, its now BAE systems. They did hold regular open days for Family and you were allowed into a lot of the buildings, also had stalls and events on outside including flypasts.


Over to you Pete well done

Medway is the right part of the County. A main road runs either side of the site.

Its fair to say the site has been owned by a number of companies and also renamed as a result of take overs. That could throw some light on to it as well.
