The Aviator, Queenborough.   It took a few mins, but I knew I had been in there!

For this one, either it's current name or either of it's former names

Plaza, Duncan Rd Gillingham?


You have it Pete. A somewhat down market cinema that was turned into a TV studio and a few other things before being demolished. Over to you.

The WW2 Memorial from the Kemsley Arms is this one now in the Church at Milton.

Thanks for your correction, granderog!
I have very many photos of the interior of Holy Trinity and the one I posted was the only memorial I could find, so it was a complete guess.

There was a theatre on the road between Chatham Town Hall and Brompton but I cannot remember the name. Am I `barking up the wrong tree?

I seem to remember it being mentioned on the `old forum`.

Not the Empire. But within the Medway Towns

Not the Theatre Royal, but you are in the right area.

Not Maidstone. And the building had many uses before being demolished about 20 years ago

Diapason's photo is the old St Pauls War Memorial board that is now at Holy Trinity Milton. The Lloyds Mill WW1 War Memorial is now at The Appleyard.

There was also the matter of the Bowaters Mill War Memorial that was in there. It was rescued, has it now got a new permanent home?
I think this is the refurbished memorial, now in Holy Trinity, Church, Milton Regis.


Yes it is now in Holy Trinity, Church, Milton Regis, but the photograph in the following link shows a different memorial to that in Diapason's post.
