A change from churches and pubs :-

Spot on, Diapason. I cannot find out much about it on The Internet. The whole area, Blue Town, is steeped in history. I love walking or cycling around there. (I must reduce image sizes in future)


Over to you...

The Old County Courthouse, near the Lord Nelson pub and the Dockyard on the Isle of Sheppey?

Thanks John Walker. I have never been but it looks a nice place, easily googled to find it.


This is a nice building, a little off the beaten track for what its purpose was. I have hidden the pub name to the right, otherwise it would have been a little easy to find. Where was I? (November 2020)

Calverley Park Tun Wells?

Not Calverley Park Pete.  Too far west.


Until more recent years there was an aviary near the pond.

Thanks Pete,


I'd searched Pembury pubs previously but for some reason the Royal Oak didn't come up.  Your Pogues clue was the clincher.


Next one.


Where is this pond?

[pete.mason]

That's the one Near T Wells & it's spa waters, near Pembury Hospital, Shane McGowan of large ears and few teeth and of The Pogues was born in Pembury

Royal Oak, Henwood Green Road, Pembury?
