You have it Pete. Like many others around the same period I spent many an hour outside that door during the 60s waiting for the girlfriend to arrive back from her daily London commute.

Rochester Central Station

Long gone John Walker. (I think it's been replaced twice.)  And you are on the right lines Pete!

A station building - still in existence ?

More some lucky memories. My grandparents lived off of Canterbury Street  so the place had that feel to it. And I had only been looking at the vent a few months ago on Google Earth, thinking that with all the large trampolines in gardens these days most people won't even notice it anymore.


On to the next.

shoot999, you are correct, great work in my opinion.  No1 York Avenue which has the railway vent close to the rear garden.  Here is another picture taken at the same time.  Over to you.

Is it the smoke vent in the rail tunnel under the 'Lines' I think Gillingham tunnel?. The vent is the back garden of a house in Marlborough Road near to the Brompton Academy school.
